U+A65A "Ꙛ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Blended Yus Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ꙛ
U+A65A "Ꙛ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Blended Yus is a historical and rare glyph used in early Cyrillic manuscripts, primarily in the Old Church Slavonic orthography of the Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabets. It represents a ligature or fusion of the Cyrillic letters "Ꙗ" (Iotated A) and "Ѧ" (Small Yus), combining the initial iotated glide with the nasal vowel sound of the yus, which was used in certain Slavic languages to denote a nasalized front vowel. This character, along with its lowercase counterpart, is part of the Cyrillic Extended-B block and is mainly of interest to paleographers, linguists, and digital typographers working with historical texts, as it has no modern usage in contemporary Slavic languages.
