U+1C81 "ᲁ" Cyrillic Small Letter Long-Legged De is a historical or typographic variant of the Cyrillic letter De, primarily used in early printed Church Slavonic texts and some old manuscripts. Its distinctive feature is an elongated, often tail-like lower stroke that extends below the baseline, distinguishing it from the standard form of the letter. This character is classified as a lowercase letter and is encoded in the Unicode Cyrillic Extended-C block, although it is rarely employed in modern Cyrillic alphabets and is mainly of interest to paleographers, linguists, and digital typographers working with historical scripts.
