U+A677 "ꙷ" Combining Cyrillic Letter U Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꙷ
U+A677 "ꙷ" Combining Cyrillic Letter U is a diacritical mark used in historical Cyrillic texts, specifically within the field of Slavic linguistics and paleography. It is designed to be combined with a base Cyrillic letter, modifying its sound or indicating a specific phonetic value, particularly in representing a fronted or centralized pronunciation of the vowel 'u' in certain Old Church Slavonic or early East Slavic manuscripts. This combining character is part of the Cyrillic Extended-B block, which contains a range of historical and philological symbols that help scholars accurately transcribe and analyze ancient written sources, though it sees little to no use in modern standard Cyrillic alphabets.
