U+2DE2 "ⷢ" Combining Cyrillic Letter Ghe is a diacritical mark used in historical and scholarly orthographies to modify the pronunciation of a preceding Cyrillic character by adding the sound of the Cyrillic letter Ghe (г). It belongs to the Combining Cyrillic Extended block and is designed to be placed over or attached to another letter, often in contexts where phonetic precision is required for transcribing Slavic or non-Slavic languages. This combining character is typically employed in linguistic or medieval texts where a composite glyph is needed to represent a specific sound that does not have a standalone letter in standard Cyrillic.
