As of Unicode version, Cyrillic script is encoded across several blocks: The characters in the range U+0400–U+045F are basically the characters from ISO 8859-5 moved upward by 864 positions. The next characters in the Cyrillic block, range U+0460–U+0489, are historical letters, some of which are still used for Church Slavonic. The characters in the range U+048A–U+04FF and the complete Cyrillic Supplement block (U+0500-U+052F) are additional letters for various languages that are written with Cyrillic script. Two characters are in the Phonetic Extensions block: from the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet and for transcribing nasal vowels. Unicode includes few precomposed accented Cyrillic letters; the others can be combined by adding U+0301 ("combining acute accent") after the accented vowel (e.g., е́ у́ э́); see below. Several diacritical marks not specific to Cyrillic can be used with Cyrillic text, including: In the table below, small letters are ordered according to their Unicode numbers; capital letters are placed immediately before the corresponding small letters. Standard Unicode names and canonical decompositions are included.
