Technical features[edit source]

Unicode version 5.1 added support for many early Cyrillic characters in the Cyrillic Extended-A and B blocks. Support for these is limited, but they should work on a computer system with appropriate fonts installed.

These fonts have at least partial support for the new Cyrillic characters in Unicode 5.1:

  • Resources at Obshtezhitie (Dilyana v 2.001, Lazov v 1.00, Menaion Medieval v 2.10)
  • Code2000 version 1.17

After Unicode version 5.1, more and more early Cyrillic characters were introduced. The following link can get appropriate fonts have at least partial support for the new Cyrillic characters as in Unicode 9.0 and later:

Quivira font fully supports -A and -B blocks, but not -C.
