This character represents a voiceless bilabial fricative, corresponding to the Latin letter F, and is the lowercase form of the uppercase letter U+2C3F ⰿ. The Glagolitic script was historically used in various regions, particularly among Slavic peoples in Moravia, Bulgaria, and Croatia, before largely being replaced by the Cyrillic alphabet.
