Unicode Version 17.0
ⷺ
U+2DFA "ⷺ" Combining Cyrillic Letter Yat is a diacritical mark used in historical Slavic linguistic and paleographic texts, primarily designed to be placed above or combined with a base Cyrillic letter to indicate the presence or pronunciation of the historical Cyrillic letter "yat" (ѣ). It belongs to the Cyrillic Extended-A block and is typically employed in scholarly transliterations or editions of Old Church Slavonic and early Cyrillic manuscripts where a superscript shorthand variant of the yat glyph is needed. This combining character allows for accurate representation of orthographic nuances without altering the base letter, enabling precise textual analysis and digital preservation of medieval Slavic writing.
