History & usage: The character depicts CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER UNBLENDED UK. It signals functional tokens in the name: LETTER as the core unit of a script, and SMALL as a size/weight qualifier that helps distinguish case in naming; UNBLENDED acts as a shape/qualifier token indicating a non‑compound form. In orthography and typography, such tokens help writers and readers identify the intended form and its typographic status, guiding consistent reference across materials without naming specific languages. 2–3 practical use cases follow from its context in the Cyrillic Extended-C block: in dictionaries and grammars, it appears in headwords and variant notes to document historical types; in educational primers and scholarly editions, editors cite it when transcribing archival manuscripts and in paleographic studies; in typographic revivals and specimen books, the form is shown as part of a revived, historically contextual set. CyrILLIC is used across Eastern Europe and parts of Eurasia; examples include Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and Serbian, with roots in the medieval Slavic tradition. This tokenized naming supports cross‑platform consistency and accessibility across scripts. Cross‑platform appearance is aided by plain text rendering and assistive technologies.
