Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+1DF7 "᷷" Combining Kavyka Above Left is a diacritical mark used in the medieval Slavic Glagolitic and Cyrillic writing systems, specifically within the tradition of early Church Slavonic manuscripts. It appears as a small curved or hook-like symbol placed above and to the left of a base letter, where it functions as an abbreviation marker or a sign indicating the omission of letters in sacred texts. This combining character does not stand alone but is intended to modify the preceding character, helping scribes conserve space and maintain the stylistic conventions of liturgical writing. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that scholars and typographers can accurately represent this historical orthographic feature in digital text.
