TIL there is a Cyrillic letter so rare it is only used in the phrase “many-eyed Seraphim”

via http://ift.tt/2qZa2nY

and it looks like THIS

aka the only possible appropriate character for talking about angels

серафими многоꙮчитїи

Multiocular O (ꙮ) is a rare glyph variant of the Cyrillic letter O. This glyph variant can be found in certain manuscripts in the phrase «серафими многоꙮчитїи» (“many-eyed seraphim”). It was documented by Yefim Karsky[1] from a copy of Psalms[2] from around 1429, now found in the collection[3] of the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, and subsequently incorporated[4] into Unicode as character U+A66E.

o.O seems to me like a monk meme rather than a proper letter, but hey

From the article for the Cyrillic O:

Historical typefaces (like poluustav (semi-uncial), a standard font style for the Church Slavonic typography) and old manuscripts represent several additional glyph variants of Cyrillic O, both for decorative and orthographic (sometimes also “hieroglyphic”[1]) purposes, namely:

  • broad variant (Ѻ/ѻ), used mostly as a word initial letter (see Broad On for more details);
  • narrow variant, being used now in Synodal Church Slavonic editions as the first element of digraph Oy/oy (see Uk (Cyrillic) for more details), and in the editions of Old Believers for unstressed “o” as well;
  • variant with a cross inside, used in certain manuscripts as the initial letter of words окрестъ ‘around, nearby’ (the root of this Slavonic word, крест, means ‘cross’) and округъ ‘district, neighbourhood’ with their derivatives;
  • “eyed” variant (Monocular O) with a dot inside (Ꙩ/ꙩ), used in certain manuscripts in spelling of word око ‘eye’ and its derivatives. In many other texts, including the birchbark letters, the monocular O was not used as a hieroglyph but largely as a synonym of Broad On signalling the word-initial position;
  • “two-eyed” variants with two dots inside (Ꙫ/ꙫ or Ꙭ/ꙭ), also double “O” without dots inside were used in certain manuscripts in spelling of dual/plural forms of the words with the same root ‘eye’;
  • “many-eyed” variant (ꙮ), used in certain manuscripts in spelling of the same root when embedded into word многоочитый ‘many-eyed’ (an attribute of seraphs).

So, it definitely looks like a monk meme
