U+A68F "ꚏ" Cyrillic Small Letter Tswe Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+A68F "ꚏ" Cyrillic Small Letter Tswe is a lesser-known letter from the extended Cyrillic alphabet, primarily used in historical or transliteration contexts for certain Slavic or non-Slavic languages, such as the Abkhaz language, where it represents a specific affricate sound akin to a combined "ts" and "v" or a labialized dental affricate. Its uppercase counterpart is U+A68E, and this character was added to the Unicode Standard as part of the Cyrillic Extended-B block, which supports various archaic or minority writing systems. The letter is rarely found in modern digital texts, but it serves an important role in preserving the phonetic distinctions of languages that utilize a broader Cyrillic inventory beyond the standard Russian alphabet.
