Pre-Reform Letters (Pre-1918)
These letters dropped out of Russian with the 1918 spelling reform. Three were removed by decree, and the fourth, izhitsa, had already fallen out of use. You'll still encounter them in pre-revolutionary texts, historical documents, and academic publications.
How to Use
Click any letter and two things happen: it goes onto your clipboard, and it is added to the text builder above. Paste with Ctrl+V (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+V (Mac). The Space tiles are the one exception. They add a space in the builder only, so when you are assembling a phrase use the builder's own Copy button. The accented letters use a Unicode combining accent, so they work in any modern text field.
Who Needs This?
Language Learners: Copy individual letters while you're still getting comfortable with the Cyrillic keyboard layout. If you type Russian often enough that copy-paste gets tedious, our complete Cyrillic keyboard setup guide walks through the process for every major platform.
Teachers and Textbook Authors: The accented vowels are especially useful for creating learning materials with stress marks, something that's surprisingly tedious to type otherwise.
Designers: Add authentic Cyrillic typography to posters, graphics, or branding without switching keyboard layouts.
Historians and Academics: The pre-reform characters are essential for working with pre-revolutionary Russian texts. Finding Ѣ (yat) or Ѳ (fita) on a standard keyboard is nearly impossible.
About the Pre-Reform Letters
Ѣ (yat): Once represented a distinct vowel sound that merged with Е over centuries. Its removal in 1918 was the most controversial change of the spelling reform, and some conservative writers refused to adopt the new rules for years.
Ѳ (fita): Borrowed from Greek theta, used in words of Greek origin like Ѳеодоръ (Theodore). Replaced by Ф in the reform.
І (decimal i): Functioned identically to И but was used before vowels and Й. Still survives in Ukrainian as І.
Ѵ (izhitsa): The rarest of the bunch, borrowed from Greek upsilon, used in a handful of church and scientific terms. Had largely fallen out of use before the reform, which did not even mention it.
