Cyrillic Extended-B

• Ensure your font stack includes Cyrillic Extended-B glyphs or provide a robust fallback that includes these characters.
• Validate text encoding end-to-end and normalize content before storage and display.
• Test rendering across platforms and font configurations to avoid missing glyphs.
• Provide accessible descriptions for glyphs and consider contrast for display of rare characters.
• Document usage in style guides with examples and refer to related blocks like Geometric shapes block, Arrows block, Currency symbols, and Box drawing block.

The Cyrillic Extended-B block contains letters used in a range of languages and historical texts. It expands the set beyond the basic Cyrillic alphabet, often appearing in scholarly editing, linguistic research, and font design. It is not as widely supported as core Cyrillic scripts, so planners should verify coverage in target environments.

Typical usage involves display of specific characters within multilingual interfaces, dictionaries, and type samples. Pitfalls include inconsistent font support, misrendered ligatures, and confusion from characters that look similar to more common Cyrillic letters. From a historical perspective, this range reflects efforts to capture regional forms and older orthographies, contributing to more inclusive digital typography.

When integrating these glyphs, focus on consistent rendering, clear naming, and accessible fallbacks. Keep documentation up to date with how fonts map the characters and where they appear in text blocks beyond standard Cyrillic content.
