U+1036E "𐍮" Old Permic Letter Ver Unicode Character

U+1036E "𐍮" Old Permic Letter Ver is a historical letter from the Old Permic alphabet, which was created in the 14th century by the missionary and linguist Stephen of Perm to write the Komi language (also known as Zyrian). This alphabet combined elements of Greek, Cyrillic, and local tribal symbols, representing a unique script used for religious and administrative texts in the medieval Perm region of northeastern Europe. The letter Ver specifically denotes a sound similar to the modern Cyrillic equivalent or the phonetic value of a voiced labiodental fricative. Today, U+1036E is part of the Unicode standard for supporting ancient scripts, preserving the cultural and linguistic heritage of the Komi people and their early writing system.
