U+2DFD "ⷽ" Combining Cyrillic Letter Little Yus Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+2DFD "ⷽ" Combining Cyrillic Letter Little Yus is a combining diacritical mark used in historical Slavic linguistic notation to modify a preceding base character, typically indicating the presence of a nasal vowel derived from the Cyrillic Little Yus (Ѧ/ѧ). Unlike standalone Cyrillic letters, this character does not represent a sound on its own but instead attaches to a preceding letter in digital text to represent a phonetic or orthographic nuance found in ancient manuscripts or scholarly transliterations. It belongs to the Cyrillic Extended-B block and is primarily employed by philologists and paleographers when annotating or reconstructing early Slavic texts where nasal vowels were phonemically distinct. The glyph combines a small version of the Little Yus shape with a combining spacing appearance, ensuring it blends seamlessly above or alongside its host character in properly configured fonts.
