Reversed Tse (Ꙡ ꙡ; italics: Ꙡ ꙡ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script, representing a horizontally reversed Tse (Ц ц
Ц ц).Reversed Tse was used in the Old Novgorodian birchbark letters, along with other reversed letters. It is an allograph of Tse and denotes the same sound – voiceless alveolar sibilant affricate [t͡s]. In the language of Novgorod and its environs the difference between ц [t͡s] and ч [t͡ʃ] had been eliminated, and ꙡ replaces both these letters in the documents.
Novgorod birch-bark letter No. 439 (turn of the 13th century):[1]
"…ко Спирокѹ. Оже ти не возѧло Матее капи, воложи ю со Прѹсомо ко мне. Ѧзо ти олово попродале, и свинеꙡе, и клепание вохо. Ѹже мне не ехати во Сѹжедале. Воскѹ кѹплены 3 пи. А тобе поити сѹда. Воложи олова со ꙡетыри безмене, полотенеꙡа со дова ꙡереленаѧ. А кѹны прави сопроста."
