U+1C86 "ᲆ" Cyrillic Small Letter Tall Hard Sign Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+1C86 "ᲆ" Cyrillic Small Letter Tall Hard Sign is a typographic variant of the standard Cyrillic hard sign (ъ) used primarily in historical or specialized text, rather than in modern everyday Cyrillic writing. Its "tall" form features an extended vertical stroke, designed to align visually with other tall lowercase letters in certain fonts and orthographic styles. This character is part of the Cyrillic Extended C block, and its inclusion in Unicode allows for more faithful representation of older printed or handwritten documents, particularly in Church Slavonic or early Russian texts where such distinctions in letter height were applied for aesthetic or readability purposes.
