U+2C59 "ⱙ" Glagolitic Small Letter Iotated Big Yus Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+2C59 "ⱙ" Glagolitic Small Letter Iotated Big Yus is a historical Cyrillic-derived letter used in the Glagolitic script, one of the oldest known Slavic alphabets, which was created in the 9th century by Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius. This specific character represents a nasalized vowel sound that combines an iotation with the back nasal vowel "big yus," and it was employed in Old Church Slavonic to write words in the liturgical and literary traditions of early Slavic peoples. While the Glagolitic script eventually fell out of common use in favor of the Cyrillic alphabet, the inclusion of this character in Unicode preserves its scholarly and historical significance for linguists and historians studying the development of Slavic languages.
