Combining Cyrillic Letter Iotified E

ꚟ is a historical Cyrillic combining mark that adds an iotified E above a base letter in abbreviated writing. Superscript letters helped scribes save space, and a specimen of this mark appears in an 11th-century manuscript. Alone, it may show a dotted circle or seem to disappear.

Text symbol

What ꚟ means

It adds an iotified E above a preceding letter. In historical Cyrillic writing, a superscript is a small letter written above the main line. Scribes used superscript letters in abbreviations and to save space.

A specimen of ꚟ appears in the Putjatina mineja, an 11th-century Old East Slavic religious manuscript. The same superscript practice appears in Church Slavonic manuscripts and later specialist editions.

How do I type ꚟ?

Place it immediately after the base character. In text, a combining mark follows the letter it belongs to, even though it displays above that letter. Test the result in a font that supports historical Cyrillic marks.

On its own, ꚟ may appear with a dotted circle or be hard to see. A font without support may show a missing-glyph box.

Is ꚟ the same as ѥ?

No: ꚟ attaches above a base; ѥ stands on its own. They are related forms of iotified E in historical Cyrillic writing, but they occupy different positions in text.

Use ꚟ in historical transcription or specialist typesetting; explain its role in ordinary chat.

ѥ is the standalone letter; it does not attach above another character.
