Combining Cyrillic Letter Ve

Put ⷡ after the Cyrillic letter it belongs to. On Linux, Ctrl+Shift+U, then 2DE1 and Enter works in apps that support this input method; Windows and HTML options are listed in How to type. Typed alone, the mark may show a dotted placeholder or seem invisible.

A Church Slavonic abbreviation may also place pokrytie, a covering mark, over the raised letter. Displaying both correctly requires a font that can position one mark over another. If the marks look scattered, try a font made for Church Slavonic text.

What does ⷡ mean in Church Slavonic?

It marks a raised Ve within an abbreviated word. Vedi is a traditional name for the Cyrillic letter Ve. The mark is part of the spelling, not a word with its own meaning; read the surrounding letters to understand the abbreviation.

Raised letters and covering marks shortened words in Church Slavonic manuscripts. The Codex Suprasliensis, an early Cyrillic Old Church Slavonic manuscript copied at the end of the tenth or beginning of the eleventh century, gives historical context but does not establish this exact character there. A Unicode Church Slavonic typography note gives a Ve/vedi abbreviation for глава, meaning “chapter.” Manuscript forms varied; Later Church Slavonic printing regularized superscript-letter combinations.
