U+2C05 "Ⰵ" Glagolitic Capital Letter Yestu Unicode Character

U+2C05 "Ⰵ" Glagolitic Capital Letter Yestu is a character from the Glagolitic script, an early Slavic alphabet traditionally attributed to Saints Cyril and Methodius from the 9th century. This capital letter represents the vowel sound similar to "e" or "ye" and is the uppercase form of its lowercase counterpart U+2C2E. The character is used primarily in historical and liturgical contexts for writing Old Church Slavonic, and its distinctive, ornate shape reflects the script's complex and circular design, which differs significantly from the later Cyrillic alphabet.
