U+A661 "ꙡ" Cyrillic Small Letter Reversed Tse Unicode Character

U+A661 "ꙡ" Cyrillic Small Letter Reversed Tse is a rare glyph from the Cyrillic Extended-B block, representing a variant of the standard Cyrillic letter Tse (Ц ц) where the distinctive tail is oriented to the left instead of the right. This character was used historically in certain Old Church Slavonic manuscripts and early Cyrillic alphabets, serving as a typographical or calligraphic alternative rather than denoting a distinct phonetic value. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the accurate digital representation of these historical texts, preserving the orthographic diversity of early Cyrillic writing traditions.
