U+1036D "๐ญ" Old Permic Letter Tsiu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
๐ญ
U+1036D "๐ญ" Old Permic Letter Tsiu is a letter used in the Old Permic script, an alphabet created in the 14th century by the missionary Saint Stephen of Perm to write the Komi language. This specific character represents the sound /tอกs/ or a similar affricate consonant, and its name "Tsiu" is derived from the Greek letter xi, reflecting the script's adaptation of Greek and Cyrillic influences for documenting Uralic languages. While the Old Permic script fell out of common use by the 17th century, this character is now preserved in Unicode as part of the historical script block, allowing scholars and enthusiasts to digitally represent medieval Komi texts and study the linguistic heritage of the Permic region.
