U+10373 "𐍳" Old Permic Letter Yu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐍳
U+10373 "𐍳" Old Permic Letter Yu is a glyph from the Old Permic script, an alphabet created in the 14th century by Saint Stephen of Perm to write the Komi language and related Uralic languages. This specific letter, named "Yu", represents the sound /ju/ and is constructed as a ligature combining elements that suggest a fusion of the letters I and U, reflecting the diphthongal nature of the vowel it signifies. The character forms part of the Old Permic block in Unicode, which was added to support historical and liturgical texts, preserving a script that was used primarily for religious translations and inscriptions before being largely replaced by the Cyrillic alphabet.
