ⷻ
U+2DFB "ⷻ" Combining Cyrillic Letter Yu is a combining diacritical mark from the Cyrillic Extended-B block, designed to be placed above or over a base Cyrillic character to form a composite letter. It represents a small, superscript version of the Cyrillic letter Yu (Ю) and is used primarily in historical or scholarly transcriptions of Old Church Slavonic and other early Cyrillic manuscripts to indicate a specific phonetic or orthographic modification. This combining character allows for the precise encoding of precomposed or contextually altered glyphs within digital text, ensuring accurate representation of medieval Cyrillic writing where such superscript forms were employed.
