U+2C27 "Ⱗ" Glagolitic Capital Letter Iotated Small Yus Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2C27 "Ⱗ" Glagolitic Capital Letter Iotated Small Yus is an uppercase letter used in the Glagolitic script, one of the oldest known Slavic alphabets, traditionally attributed to Saint Cyril. This character represents a specific vowel sound that combines a preceding iotated glide with a nasalized back vowel, corresponding to a sound similar to the modern Polish "ę" or the Cyrillic letter "ѭ". It is a variant of the Small Yus, distinguished by the iotated quality indicated by an initial "I" sound. As a capital letter, "Ⱗ" is part of the Glagolitic uppercase set, which was historically used for titles or emphasis, though the script itself is no longer in common use, surviving primarily in liturgical and historical texts. The character sits within the Unicode block for Glagolitic, from U+2C00 to U+2C5F, and serves as a key element for encoding old Church Slavonic manuscripts digitally.
