Unicode Version 17.0
Ⰸ
U+2C08 "Ⰸ" Glagolitic Capital Letter Zemlja is part of the Glagolitic script, an old Slavic alphabet created in the 9th century by Saints Cyril and Methodius for translating religious texts into Old Church Slavonic. This capital letter corresponds to the sound "z" and takes its name "Zemlja" meaning "earth" or "land" in Slavic languages, reflecting the common practice of naming letters after meaningful words. As a visually distinctive character with an angular form, it appears in historical manuscripts primarily from the Croatian and Macedonian regions, where the Glagolitic script was used for centuries before being largely replaced by the Cyrillic alphabet.
