U+A660 "Ꙡ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Reversed Tse Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+A660 "Ꙡ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Reversed Tse is a relatively rare and specialized glyph used primarily in historical or reconstructed Church Slavonic and early Cyrillic texts. It visually resembles a standard Cyrillic "Tse" (Ц) but with the rounded part flipped to the left side, serving as a variant form or allograph found in certain manuscript traditions. This character belongs to the Cyrillic Extended-B block and supports the phonetic or orthographic needs of medieval Slavic writing systems, though it is not part of modern standard Cyrillic alphabets. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that scholars can accurately encode and preserve the unique typographic variations present in historical documents.
