U+2C40 "ⱀ" Glagolitic Small Letter Nashi Unicode Character

U+2C40 "ⱀ" Glagolitic Small Letter Nashi is a historical letter from the Glagolitic alphabet, one of the oldest known Slavic scripts, traditionally credited to Saints Cyril and Methodius in the 9th century. This specific letter, named "Nashi" or "Nashty," represents the sound /n/ and is the lowercase form of the corresponding uppercase Glagolitic letter. It was used primarily in Old Church Slavonic manuscripts before being largely replaced by the Cyrillic alphabet, and its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve the script for linguistic study and digital representation.
