U+2C10 "Ⱀ" Glagolitic Capital Letter Nashi Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2C10 "Ⱀ" Glagolitic Capital Letter Nashi is a historically significant glyph from the Glagolitic script, an early Slavic alphabet created in the 9th century by Saints Cyril and Methodius to write Old Church Slavonic. This capital letter represents the sound /n/ and corresponds to the modern Latin letter "N" or Cyrillic "Н," with its name "Nashi" deriving from the Slavic word for "ours." Its angular and ornate design reflects the unique, pre-Cyrillic style of Glagolitic, which was used primarily in liturgical texts and inscriptions across regions like Moravia, Bulgaria, and Croatia, though it gradually fell out of common use as the simpler Cyrillic alphabet gained dominance. Today, U+2C10 is preserved in modern digital standards to support scholarly, liturgical, and cultural preservation of this ancient writing system.
