U+A655 "ꙕ" Cyrillic Small Letter Reversed Yu Unicode Character

U+A655 "ꙕ" Cyrillic Small Letter Reversed Yu is a rare and historical glyph used in the early Cyrillic alphabet, specifically a mirrored variant of the modern letter "Yu" (Ю, ю). Originally employed in certain medieval manuscripts and liturgical texts, this letter represented a distinct phonetic value or served as a stylistic variation, though its usage largely disappeared as the Cyrillic script standardized over time. Today, it is classified under the Cyrillic Extended-B block and is primarily of interest to paleographers, linguists, and digital typographers working with historical Slavic scripts.
