U+2C09 "Ⰹ" Glagolitic Capital Letter Izhe Unicode Character

U+2C09 "Ⰹ" Glagolitic Capital Letter Izhe is a letter from the Glagolitic script, an ancient Slavic alphabet created in the 9th century by Saints Cyril and Methodius for translating Christian texts into Old Church Slavonic. This capital letter represents the vowel sound /i/ or /ji/, analogous to the Cyrillic letter И or the Latin I, and it appears in the uppercase form of the Glagolitic script, which was historically used in liturgical manuscripts across Slavic regions before largely being replaced by Cyrillic. The character is part of the Unicode Glagolitic block, encoded for modern digital representation to preserve the script for scholarly, linguistic, and cultural heritage purposes.
