Glagolitic (Unicode block)
The Unicode block Glagolitic (English Glagolitic, U 2 C00 to U 2 C5F ) contains the characters of the Glagolitic alphabet which was invented in the 9th century by the Slavs Apostles ' Cyril for the Old Church Slavonic language. Since the 10th/11th. Century was the Glagolitic alphabet from the Cyrillic displaced (see Unicode block Cyrillic), but remained in ecclesiastical texts, especially in Croatia until the 19th century when it was replaced by the in secular texts long customary Latin script, and is now often used, especially in Croatia, Czech Republic, Macedonia and Bulgaria back to jewelry purposes in logos and the like.
The difference between the old and the new round, Croatian, angular forms of the Glagolitic letter is not provided in Unicode, but to be solved by the use of different fonts. But are well- formed ( at the end of the row of letters ) only in the later development in Croatia letters ( the Štapić for Jer and Jerj, the triangular A and the " Latin " - eigtl perhaps Cyrillic - Myslite ). Otherwise, the order of the letters according to the traditional order of the Glagolitic alphabet, while taking the distinction made here between uppercase and lowercase has arisen only in the post- Old Church Slavonic time.
Note: In many fonts that do not contain Glagolitic characters appear at the site of Glagolitic letters Cyrillic equivalents, in order to obtain a certain compatibility and to enable reading Glagolitic texts even without your own characters. Depending on your browser and operating system settings, it may be that you take Glagolitic Cyrillic characters shown in the Table below.
