In the 1920s, the Komi language was written with the Molodtsov alphabet, derived from Cyrillic. It was replaced by the Latin alphabet in 1931[1] and later by the Cyrillic alphabet in the Komi Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.

The letters particular to the Molodtsov alphabet are: Ԁ Ԃ Ԅ Ԇ Ԉ Ԋ Ԍ Ԏ (the hooks represent palatalization)

In addition, the letters Ф ф, Х х, and Ц ц might be used for words borrowed from Russian.
