U+A66E "ꙮ" Cyrillic Letter Multiocular O Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+A66E "ꙮ" Cyrillic Letter Multiocular O is a highly unusual and rare glyph found in certain medieval Cyrillic manuscripts, most famously within the 15th century work "The Book of Psalms" where it was used to represent the concept of "many-eyed" in the phrase "many-eyed seraphim." This character consists of a central circle surrounded by multiple smaller circles or "eyes," traditionally shown with seven or more ocular figures arranged in a circular pattern, symbolizing divine watchfulness or the many eyes of celestial beings. It is a part of the Cyrillic Extended-B block and was officially included in Unicode version 5.1 in 2008, serving as a specialized historical character that highlights the diversity and artistic creativity of scribal traditions in Old Church Slavonic and early East Slavic writing.
