U+A65C "Ꙝ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Iotified Closed Little Yus Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+A65C "Ꙝ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Iotified Closed Little Yus is a historic and rarely used glyph from the extended Cyrillic script, representing a nasalized vowel sound that combines the initial iotation (a preceding "y"-like glide) with the phonetic quality of a "closed little yus," which itself denoted a front nasalized vowel. This letter was employed primarily in medieval Old Church Slavonic and early Cyrillic manuscripts, where it served to transcribe specific nasalized sounds that were present in the language at that time but later shifted or disappeared in most modern Slavic languages. The character is part of the Cyrillic Extended-B block, and its inclusion in Unicode ensures that scholars and typographers can accurately represent historical texts, though it sees little to no use in contemporary writing systems.
