U+2C37 "ⰷ" Glagolitic Small Letter Dzelo Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+2C37 "ⰷ" Glagolitic Small Letter Dzelo is a letter from the Glagolitic script, an early Slavic alphabet created by Saints Cyril and Methodius in the 9th century to translate the Bible into Old Church Slavonic. This specific small letter represents the sound equivalent to a voiced affricate, roughly corresponding to the Latin letters "dz" or the Cyrillic "Ѕ" in certain languages. Historically, the Glagolitic script was used in regions like Croatia and parts of the Balkans before being largely replaced by the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets, and the character Dzelo held a numerical value of eight in the Glagolitic numeral system. Today, it is preserved in digital text through Unicode, enabling scholars and enthusiasts to represent medieval Slavic texts with accuracy in modern computing environments.
