Yery with acute
Appearance
Yery with acute (Ы́ ы́; italics: Ы́ ы́) is a rare letter used in the Cyrillic Script, used in some Slavic languages (Usually Russian). This letter notably looks the exact same as the letter Yeru (Ы ы), with an acute accent.[1]
Usage
This letter is optional in use and usually not used in situations other than being used in dictionaries or textbooks, as a way to express if a word has a vowel that is stressed or not. For example, in Russian: язы́к (Language) часы́ (watch).[2]
Computing codes
Being a relatively recent letter, not present in any legacy 8-bit Cyrillic encoding, the letter Ы́ is not represented directly by a precomposed character in Unicode either; it has to be composed as Ы+◌́ (U+0301).
