U+2C28 "" Glagolitic Capital Letter Big Yus is a character from the Glagolitic script, an early Slavic alphabet created by Saints Cyril and Methodius in the 9th century to translate Christian texts. This specific letter represents a nasalized back vowel, typically pronounced like the "on" in French "bon," and it corresponds to the Cyrillic letter "Ѫ" known as Big Yus. As a capital letter, it appears in the title case or at the beginning of words in historical Glagolitic manuscripts, though the script itself eventually fell out of common use, being replaced primarily by the Cyrillic alphabet. Today, U+2C28 is used in scholarly contexts, digital typography, and liturgical materials for the study and preservation of Old Church Slavonic and related linguistic heritage.
