It is an accent nasal vowel from Slavonic language. To save space, it was often written as a vertical ligature (\ua64a\u00a0\ua64b), called “monograph Uk”.  In modern times, \u27e8\u0479\u27e9 has been replaced by the simple \u27e8\u0443\u27e9.Table of ContentsDevelopment of the use of Uk in Old East Slavic[edit]Representation on computers[edit]Computing codes[edit]References[edit]Further reading[edit]Development of the use of Uk in Old East Slavic[edit]  The simplification of the digraph \u27e8\u0479\u27e9 to \u27e8\u0443\u27e9 was first brought about in Old East Slavic texts and only later taken over into South Slavic languages.One can see this development in the Novgorod birch-bark letters: The degree to which this letter was used here differed in two positions: in word-initial position or before a vowel (except for the jers), and after a consonant.Before a consonant, \u27e8\u0479\u27e9 was used 89% of the time in the writings before 1100. By 1200, it was used 61% of the time, with the letter \u27e8\u0443\u27e9 used 14% of the time; by 1300, \u0479 had reached 28%, surpassed by \u27e8\u0443\u27e9 at 45%. From the late 14th century on, there are no more instances of \u27e8\u0479\u27e9 being used in this position, with \u27e8\u0443\u27e9 appearing 95% of the time.The decrease in usage was more gradual after a consonant. Although there are no instances of the use of \u27e8\u0443\u27e9 in this position before c. 1200, \u27e8\u0479\u27e9 gradually decreased from 88% before 1100 to 57% by 1200. The frequency of \u27e8\u0479\u27e9 remained steady between 47% and 44% until 1400, when it experienced another decrease to 32%. Meanwhile, the use of \u27e8\u0443\u27e9 increased from 4% in the early 13th century, to 20% by the mid-13th century, 38% by the mid 14th century, and 58% by the early 15th century.[1]Representation on computers[edit]The letter Uk was first represented in Unicode 1.1.0 as U+0478 and 0479, CYRILLIC CAPITAL\/SMALL LETTER UK (\u0478\u00a0\u0479).  It was later recognized that the glyph to be used for the letter had not been adequately specified, and it had been represented as either a digraph or monograph letter in different released fonts.  There was also the difficulty that in written texts the letter may appear in lowercase (\u0479), uppercase (\u0478), or in all caps (\u041e\u0423), which is possible to be used for heading.To resolve this ambiguity, Unicode 5.1 has deprecated the use of the original code points, introduced U+A64A and A64B, CYRILLIC CAPITAL\/SMALL LETTER MONOGRAPH UK (\ua64a\u00a0\ua64b), and recommends composing the digraph with two individual characters \u27e8\u043e\u27e9+\u27e8\u0443\u27e9.[2]Unicode 9.0 has also introduced U+1C82 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER NARROW O which can also be used for composing the digraph form (\u27e8\u1c82\u27e9+\u27e8\u0443\u27e9) and U+1C88 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER UNBLENDED UK (\u1c88) as a variant of monograph form.[3][4]However, the recommended method may cause some text representation problems. The letter \u0423 did not originally appear alone in the Old Church Slavonic orthography, and thus its code point was replaced in different Old Slavonic computer fonts with digraph or monograph forms of the Uk or with the tailed form of Izhitsa. Tailed Izhitsa may be used as a part of the digraph, but using the shape of the monograph Uk as a part of the digraph Uk (\u043e\ua64b) is incorrect.The minuscule monograph Uk was used in the Romanian Transitional Alphabet to represent \/u\/, but due to font restrictions, the \u0222 ligature or Latin gamma are occasionally used instead.Computing codes[edit]Character informationPreview\u041e\u043e\u1c82\u0423\u0443Unicode nameCYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER OCYRILLIC SMALL LETTER OCYRILLIC SMALL LETTER NARROW OCYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER UCYRILLIC SMALL LETTER UEncodingsdecimalhexdechexdechexdechexdechexUnicode1054U+041E1086U+043E7298U+1C821059U+04231091U+0443UTF-8208 158D0 9E208 190D0 BE225 178 130E1 B2 82208 163D0 A3209 131D1 83Numeric character referenceООооᲂᲂУУууNamed character referenceОоУуCharacter informationPreview\u0478\u0479\ua64a\ua64b\u1c88Unicode nameCYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER UKCYRILLIC SMALL LETTER UKCYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTERMONOGRAPH UKCYRILLIC SMALL LETTERMONOGRAPH UKCYRILLIC SMALL LETTERUNBLENDED UKEncodingsdecimalhexdechexdechexdechexdechexUnicode1144U+04781145U+047942570U+A64A42571U+A64B7304U+1C88UTF-8209 184D1 B8209 185D1 B9234 153 138EA 99 8A234 153 139EA 99 8B225 178 136E1 B2 88Numeric character referenceѸѸѹѹꙊꙊꙋꙋᲈᲈReferences[edit]Further reading[edit]"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/uk-cyrillic-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Uk (Cyrillic) – Wikipedia"}}]}]
