The theory is supported by the fact that the Cyrillic alphabet almost completely replaced the Glagolitic in northeastern Bulgaria as early as the end of the tenth century, whereas the Ohrid Literary School—where Saint Clement worked—continued to use the Glagolitic until the twelfth century.

 Cyrillic alphabet - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
The Cyrillic alphabet (or azbuka, from the old name of the first letters) is an alphabet used to write six natural Slavic languages (Belarusian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Russian, Serbian, and Ukrainian) and many other languages of the former Soviet Union, Asia and Eastern Europe.
Though it is usually attributed to Saint Clement of Ohrid, a Bulgarian scholar and disciple of Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius, the alphabet is more likely to have developed at the Preslav Literary School in north-eastern Bulgaria, where the oldest Cyrillic inscriptions have been found, dating back to the 940s.
The theory is further supported by the fact that the Cyrillic alphabet almost completely replaced the Glagolitic in north-eastern Bulgaria as early as the end of the tenth century, whereas the Ohrid Literary School—where Saint Clement worked—continued to use the Glagolitic until the twelfth century.

 Koppa - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Koppa (Ҁ, ҁ) is an archaic letter of the Cyrillic alphabet, originally derived from the Greek letter Qoppa.
Whilst it existed in the Early Cyrillic alphabet, it is no longer used in any national languages using Cyrillic.
It had no sound value in Slavic languages, and was used exclusively as a Cyrillic numeral indicating the numeric value 90, in which function it was replaced relatively early by the letter ч, which is similar in appearance and originally had no numeric value.

 Britain.tv Wikipedia - Cyrillic
The Cyrillic alphabet (pronounced /sɪˈrɪlɪk/, also called azbuka, from the old name of the first two letters) is an alphabet used for several East and South Slavic languages; (Belarusian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Russian, Rusyn, Serbian, and Ukrainian) and many other languages of the former Soviet Union, Asia and Eastern Europe.
There are also other theories regarding the origins of the Cyrillic alphabet, namely that the alphabet was created by Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius themselves, or that it preceded the Glagolitic alphabet, representing a "transitional"?title=stage between Greek and Glagolitic cursive, but these have been widely disproved.
Upright Cyrillic lowercase letters are essentially small capitals (with the exception of a few forms such as "а"?title=and "е"?title=which adopted Western lowercase shapes), although a good-quality Cyrillic typeface will still include separate small caps glyphs.

Koppa ({{UnicodeҀ}}, {{Unicodeҁ}}) is an archaic letter of the Cyrillic alphabet, originally derived from the Greek letter Qoppa.
It had no sound value in Slavonic languages, and was used exclusively as a Cyrillic numeral indicating the numeric value 90, in which function it was replaced relatively early by the letter Ч, which is similar in appearance and originally had no numeric value.
In some varieties of Western Cyrillic, however, koppa was retained, and Ч used with the value 60, replacing {{UnicodeѮ}}.

 Cyrillic alphabet
The plan of the alphabet is derived from the early Cyrillic alphabet, itself a derivative of the Glagolitic alphabet, a 9th century uncial cursive usually credited to two brothers, Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius.
The theory is further supported by the fact that the Cyrillic alphabet replaced almost completely the Glagolitic one in northeastern Bulgaria as early as the end of the 10th century, whereas the Ohrid Literary School—where Saint Clement worked—continued to use the Glagolitic alphabet until the 12th century.
Although Cyril is almost certainly not the author of the Cyrillic alphabet, his contributions to Glagolitic alphabet and hence to the Cyrillic alphabet are still recognised, as the latter is named after him.

 Numerals
In contrast to koppa, there is no significant tradition of digamma being used as a numeral in editions of classical texts, even though the Ancients clearly used digamma rather than stigma as their numeral.
The place of san in the alphabet was between pi and koppa, so it would make no sense for a survival of san to be tacked on at the end of the alphabet, after omega (itself an Ionian invention).
Of the Z-like koppas, some fonts follow one of the two koppas designed by Yannis Haralambous (§1.2.1.4): Everson Mono Unicode and FreeSerif have the curly version, which is also the reference glyph in the Unicode code charts, while Alphabetum has an intermediate form, with the top curly and the bottom serifed.

The scientific transliteration system is purely phonemic, meaning that each character represents one meaningful unit of sound in a particular Slavic language.
It is based on the Croatian alphabet, in which each letter corresponds directly to a Cyrillic letter of the related Serbian language.
Early Cyrillic letter koppa (Ҁ, ҁ) was used only for transliterating Greek, and for its numeric value, so it is omitted.

 Interloping Scripts
The archaic Greek characters no longer in use in Cyrillic are still treated as Cyrillic letters, rather than unified with their Greek progenitors; at least some of them were used in normal Slavonic words, and typographically they developed differently from Standard Greek (e.g.
In most fonts, they look rather more old fashioned than normal Cyrillic; that is because most of these characters were restricted to Old Church Slavonic, which is traditionally printed in a typeface close to what was in the manuscripts, rather than modernising it (i.e.
But as I've discussed, it's not like those scripts are actually being used by Gothicists and Italicists anyway; the patrimony they're hooking up their objects of study to are Germanic and Italian—which are Latin script territory.

 Re: Abkhaz letters
This seems odd to me as koppa was never used in Byzantine Greek, except as a number.
Perhaps the Cyrillic koppa was also only a number.
Anyway, this may be the specific cyrillic glyph refered in use in Kurdish some time ago, one point in favor of its disunification from U+0051.

 Rusten, Review of Palatino Unicode (BMCR)
But when it came to polytonic Greek, Unicode made an initial blunder.[4] It declined to assign Unicode slots to the character+accent combinations of polytonic Greek, opting instead for a single set of "combining" diacritics to accompany every vowel—e.
The new Palatino will contain digamma, sampi, koppa, stigma, and all the standard accent combinations; it also has one non-standard one, in an oddity every classicist will notice right away, namely iota subscripts under capital letters.
This mistake is not the fault of the Palatino design team, but a longstanding error made already by Unicode and ISO before it, which it is too late to correct.

Tshe (Ћ, ћ) is the 23rd letter of the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet.
Today, most often it is transliterated ć, as per the Croatian/Serbian Latin alphabet) or, without the diacritic, as c; less frequent transliterations are tj, ty, cj, cy, ch (also used for che) and tch.
As it is one of the letters unique to the Serbian language, and also the letter with which the Serbian word for Cyrillic (ћирилица) starts, tshe is often used as the basis for logos for various groups involved with the Cyrillic alphabet; for examples, see [1], [2].
