Combining Cyrillic Letter Djerv

25/32

ⷸ is a djerv combining mark: a small Cyrillic letter placed over a base letter in historical Church Slavonic abbreviations. This letter-titlo marks an abbreviated word; it is not a standalone letter. Related djerv characters include an earlier Glagolitic letter and standalone Old Cyrillic letters, but each is a different character.

Text symbol

What ⷸ means

ⷸ is the combining cyrillic letter djerv. Unicode classifies it as a combining mark, drawn on top of the character before it and files it in the Cyrillic Extended-A block; this site shelves it under European scripts.

Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.

How it is encoded

ⷸ is a single code point, U2DF8. In HTML that is ⷸ, and in CSS \2DF8.

Use it when reproducing a historical Cyrillic abbreviation.

Do not replace it with a standalone djerv or a modern Serbian letter.

Questions people ask

1

Why does ⷸ show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the Cyrillic Extended-A block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
