U+A67F "ꙿ" Cyrillic Payerok is a historic and obscure sign used in early Cyrillic manuscripts, primarily from the 11th to 14th centuries, where it served as a shorthand symbol to indicate the omission of a letter or syllable, similar to a titlo or abbreviation mark. Its name, payerok, derives from the Old Church Slavonic word for "hooked" or "little stick," referencing its small, hook-like shape that was often written above the baseline. Today, it is rarely used in modern text but is included in Unicode for scholarly and historical documentation, allowing accurate representation of medieval Slavic writing and linguistic studies.
