U+046C "Ѭ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Iotified Big Yus is a historical and rarely used glyph from the Early Cyrillic alphabet, representing a nasalized vowel sound that was iotified, meaning it was preceded by a "y" glide. This letter is part of the extended Cyrillic block and corresponds to the sound typically transcribed as /jɛ̃/ or similar nasalized front vowels in Old Church Slavonic. It appears primarily in medieval manuscripts and scholarly transliterations, as the Big Yus letters including this iotified form fell out of use in modern Cyrillic scripts, replaced by simpler vowel combinations. The character is distinct from its lowercase counterpart U+046D and other Yus variants, preserving the orthographic legacy of Slavic linguistic history.
