ℹ️ About
The Armenian Small Ligature Ech Yiwn (և) is a unique lowercase character used in modern Armenian orthography to represent the conjunction “and” (pronounced ‘yev’). Technically, it functions as a typographic ligature of the characters ե (U+0565) and ւ (U+0582). Included since Unicode 1.1, it is essential for modern text rendering and features a compatibility decomposition mapping that developers must consider during string normalization and search algorithms.
⚠️ Note: Do not confuse with the individual sequence եւ. While they look similar, U+0587 is a single codepoint used for efficiency in modern layouts.
