U+2C21 "Ⱑ" Glagolitic Capital Letter Yati Unicode Character

U+2C21 "Ⱑ" Glagolitic Capital Letter Yati is a glyph from the Glagolitic script, an early Slavic alphabet created in the 9th century by Saints Cyril and Methodius to translate Christian texts. This uppercase letter represents the sound often transcribed as "yati," a vowel that historically corresponded to a long or short front vowel, similar to the Cyrillic letter Ѣ. In the Glagolitic alphabet, it appears as a distinctive, ornate symbol, and its use was primarily in Old Church Slavonic manuscripts before the script was largely replaced by Cyrillic in Slavic regions.
