A with circumflex (А̂ а̂; italics: А̂ а̂) is a Cyrillic letter, In all its forms it looks exactly like the Latin letter A with circumflex ( â Â â), used in the Udege alphabet which was created for the Udege language.[1] The letter was made and used in the most common version of the alphabet: the Khabarovsk version.[2][3]

Usage

[edit]

Nineteenth century polymath Mykhailo Maksymovych used an orthography for the Ukrainian language based on etymological principles of spelling, which included the letter А̂ .[4]

This letter is also used in some dialects of South Slavic languages such as Bulgarian and Serbian (e.g. гла̂ва or кра̂к).[5]

Computing codes

[edit]

Being a relatively recent letter, not present in any legacy 8-bit Cyrillic encoding, the letter А̂ is not represented directly by a precomposed character in Unicode either; it has to be composed as А+◌̂ (U+0302).[citation needed]
