Unicode Version 17.0
Ⱆ
U+2C16 "Ⱆ" Glagolitic Capital Letter Uku is a letter from the Glagolitic script, an ancient Slavic alphabet created in the 9th century by Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius to translate religious texts into Old Church Slavonic. This uppercase character represents the vowel sound /u/, similar to the Latin letter "U", and corresponds to the lowercase form at U+2C46 "ⱖ". It was used primarily in Croatian, Bulgarian, and other Slavic manuscripts before the Latin and Cyrillic scripts largely replaced the Glagolitic alphabet. Today, Uku and other Glagolitic letters are preserved in historical documents and liturgical contexts, and they are supported in modern computing for scholarly and cultural representation.
