U+1E04F "𞁏" Modifier Letter Cyrillic Small Straight U Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1E04F "𞁏" Modifier Letter Cyrillic Small Straight U is a relatively rare and specialized glyph belonging to the Cyrillic Extended-D block, designed for phonetic transcription and scholarly notation within Cyrillic-based linguistic contexts. It represents a small, superscript form of a straight Cyrillic letter U, often used to indicate a modified or secondary articulation, such as labialization, of a preceding consonant in certain Slavic or non-Slavic languages studied by Cyrillic-writing linguists. Unlike standard vowel letters, this modifier is not intended for standalone use in ordinary text but serves as a diacritic-like symbol that adjusts the pronunciation of adjacent characters without altering the primary reading. Its inclusion in Unicode supports precise documentation of less common speech sounds found in dialects and endangered languages.
