U+2C22 "Ⱒ" Glagolitic Capital Letter Spidery Ha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ⱒ
U+2C22 "Ⱒ" Glagolitic Capital Letter Spidery Ha is a historical letter from the Glagolitic script, which was developed in the 9th century by Saints Cyril and Methodius for writing Old Church Slavonic. This specific character, with its distinctive spidery appearance, represents a sound that scholars generally associate with a voiceless glottal fricative or a related breathy consonant, akin to the English "h". As part of the Glagolitic alphabet, it was used primarily in medieval liturgical texts before being largely supplanted by the Cyrillic script, though it remains a subject of study for paleographers and linguists interested in early Slavic writing systems and phonetic evolution.
