U+2DEF "ⷯ" Combining Cyrillic Letter Ha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+2DEF "ⷯ" Combining Cyrillic Letter Ha is a diacritical mark used in the Cyrillic script to modify the sound of a base letter by adding a component that resembles the shape of the Cyrillic letter Ha (Х, х). This combining character is employed in certain extended Cyrillic alphabets, particularly in liturgical or scholarly transcriptions of Old Church Slavonic and other historical Slavic texts, where it typically indicates a specific phonetic nuance such as aspiration or a velar fricative quality. It stands out among combining marks because it attaches directly above or over the preceding character, integrating visually without altering the base letter's fundamental identity, thereby providing a precise orthographic tool for linguists and text editors.
