U+1E036 "𞀶" Modifier Letter Cyrillic Small Zhe Unicode Character

U+1E036 "𞀶" Modifier Letter Cyrillic Small Zhe is a diacritical mark used in the Cyrillic Extended-D block, representing a small letter Zhe in a modified form. It is part of a set of modifier letters designed for phonetic or orthographic transcription in certain Slavic or Uralic languages, particularly to denote palatalization or other fine gradations of sound. This character typically appears as a superscript or reduced version of the standard Cyrillic letter Zhe (ж), allowing it to be combined with base letters to indicate a softened or modified pronunciation without creating a full new character.
