What 𞀸 means
It adds a small i-like detail to the vowel’s pronunciation.
Cyrillic phonetic transcription writes speech sounds with Cyrillic letters. Here, superscript и can mark a brief glide toward or away from an i-like sound; some systems use it for a vowel made slightly higher in the mouth.
A printed example from 1985 shows Armenian vowel letter է written as long Cyrillic е or with a raised i for a diphthong (one vowel that shifts in sound).
