U+A65B "ꙛ" Cyrillic Small Letter Blended Yus Unicode Character

U+A65B "ꙛ" Cyrillic Small Letter Blended Yus is a historic glyph used in certain early Cyrillic manuscripts and modern scholarly editions to represent a specific vowel sound that blends features of the front and back nasal vowels. It was encoded in the Unicode standard as part of the Cyrillic Extended-B block to support the accurate transcription and preservation of Old Church Slavonic and other medieval Slavic texts. This character is rarely used in modern writing but remains essential for linguists and philologists studying the development and phonological nuances of the Cyrillic script.
