ℹ️ About
The Cyrillic Small Letter Soft Sign (ь), known as the ‘myagkiy znak’, is an orthographic marker used in Slavic languages like Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian. Unlike most letters, it represents no sound itself but modifies the preceding consonant, indicating it should be palatalized (softened). It is a vital component for correct pronunciation and word differentiation.
⚠️ Note: Do not confuse with b (Latin b) or ъ (Hard sign).
