U+0484 "҄" Combining Cyrillic Palatalization Unicode Character

U+0484 "҄" Combining Cyrillic Palatalization is a diacritical mark used within the Cyrillic script to indicate that a consonant should be pronounced with palatalization, meaning the tongue is raised toward the hard palate during articulation. This combining character is placed above a base Cyrillic letter to modify its sound, historically appearing in early Slavic manuscripts and some modern linguistic transcriptions to denote softness or a slight "y" glide effect. It differs from the similar-looking "҃" Combining Cyrillic Titlo, as its specific function is phonetic rather than scribal abbreviation.
