U+2DE0 "ⷠ" Combining Cyrillic Letter Be Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ⷠ
U+2DE0 "ⷠ" Combining Cyrillic Letter Be is a combining diacritical mark used in the Cyrillic script to modify a base character, typically to represent a specific phonetic variant or to facilitate the transcription of sounds found in certain minority languages or medieval texts. It appears as a small, superscript version of the Cyrillic letter Be and is placed above or attached to another letter to indicate a palatalized or otherwise altered pronunciation. This character is part of the Cyrillic Extended-B block in Unicode, which was added to support scholarly and liturgical needs, particularly for Old Church Slavonic and other historical Slavic writings where precise phonetic notation is required.
