U+2DEB "ⷫ" Combining Cyrillic Letter Pe Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2DEB "ⷫ" Combining Cyrillic Letter Pe is a diacritical mark used in certain Slavic linguistic and historical orthographies to modify a base Cyrillic character, typically by indicating a softened or palatalized pronunciation of the accompanying consonant. This combining character appears in the Cyrillic Extended B block and is designed to be placed directly above or attached to another Cyrillic letter, functioning as a phonetic aid rather than a standalone symbol. It is most commonly encountered in scholarly transcriptions of Old Church Slavonic or in modern contexts where precise phonetic representation of certain dialects or languages, such as Church Slavonic, is required.
