Cyrillic Capital Letter Schwa with Diaeresis

Cyrillic Capital Letter Schwa with Diaeresis at U+04DA is an uppercase Cyrillic letter used to write a front rounded vowel in certain extended Cyrillic alphabets. It belongs to the Cyrillic block and is the capital form of the corresponding lowercase letter with diaeresis. Its main real-world use is in the Khanty language, where it represents a vowel distinct from plain Cyrillic schwa. In practical text it appears in dictionaries, primers, linguistic materials, and names written according to orthographies that distinguish this sound. The letter may also be encountered in academic writing on Uralic languages, especially in phonological examples, word lists, and transliteration discussions where exact Cyrillic spelling matters. Because it resembles Cyrillic capital schwa with an added diaeresis, readers and search systems may treat it differently from the undotted form, so preserving the exact character is important in language data and bibliographic records.
