Reversed Tse

Reversed Tse (Ꙡ ꙡ; italics: Ꙡ ꙡ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script, which was used in the Veliky Novgorod birchbark letters in place of tse ц /t͡s/ and che ч /t͡ʃ/, as the distinction between them had apparently been lost in the Old Novgorodian dialect. It is equivalent to neither.^[1]
