U+1DF6 "᷶" Combining Kavyka Above Right Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
᷶
U+1DF6 "᷶" Combining Kavyka Above Right is a diacritical mark used in medieval and early modern Cyrillic manuscript traditions, particularly in Church Slavonic texts. It appears as a small, often checkmark like symbol positioned above and to the right of a base letter, and its primary function is to indicate a specific phonetic alteration or to disambiguate certain homographs by marking a distinct reading or accentual pattern. This combining character belongs to the Combining Diacritical Marks Extended block and is intended to be placed over a preceding character, modifying its pronunciation or meaning without taking up its own separate space in the line of text.
