U+2C36 "ⰶ" Glagolitic Small Letter Zhivete Unicode Character

U+2C36 "ⰶ" Glagolitic Small Letter Zhivete is a character from the Glagolitic script, one of the oldest known Slavic alphabets, traditionally attributed to Saint Cyril in the 9th century. This lowercase letter corresponds to the sound /ʒ/ (like the 's' in "measure") and represents the voiced postalveolar fricative in Old Church Slavonic. Its uppercase counterpart is U+2C16 "Ⱆ" Glagolitic Capital Letter Zhivete, and the letter's name "Zhivete" derives from an old Slavic word meaning "life." In modern contexts, the character is primarily used in historical linguistic studies, manuscript transcription, and digital encoding for preserving the Glagolitic script's legacy in Unicode.
