U+1054B "𐕋" Caucasian Albanian Letter Cyay is a glyph used in the historical Caucasian Albanian alphabet, which was developed in the 5th century to write the language of the ancient kingdom of Caucasian Albania, an area roughly corresponding to parts of modern-day Azerbaijan and southern Russia. This specific letter, pronounced as a sound akin to "ts" or "ch" in various scholarly reconstructions, belongs to a script that fell out of widespread use by the Middle Ages but was rediscovered in the 20th century through surviving manuscripts and inscriptions. Today, the character is encoded in Unicode to support the digital preservation and scholarly study of this extinct alphabet's unique linguistic heritage.
