U+2C48 "ⱈ" Glagolitic Small Letter Heru Unicode Character

U+2C48 "ⱈ" Glagolitic Small Letter Heru 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 and liturgical texts into Old Church Slavonic. This small letter represents the sound /x/ (similar to the English "ch" in "loch") and corresponds to the Cyrillic letter "Х" and the Latin "h" or "kh." As part of the Glagolitic alphabet, it was historically used in texts from the medieval Slavic world, particularly in areas like Croatia and Bulgaria, but today it is primarily employed in scholarly contexts, historical linguistics, and digital typography to preserve and study the script's heritage.
