U+2DF4 "ⷴ" Combining Cyrillic Letter Fita Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ⷴ
U+2DF4 "ⷴ" Combining Cyrillic Letter Fita is a combining diacritical mark used in historical and liturgical Cyrillic script, specifically designed to modify a base character by adding the shape of the Cyrillic letter "Fita" (which itself represents the Greek letter theta). This combining form allows scribes and typesetters to indicate a special phonetic value, often in Old Church Slavonic or other early Slavic texts, where the fita symbol denotes a fricative sound not native to standard modern Cyrillic orthography. Because it is a combining character, it attaches directly above or onto another character to alter its pronunciation, serving as a typographic tool for accurate representation of medieval manuscripts and religious documents.
