While persuing a different subject, I come across the notion that in
late-1930ies Karelian cyrillic orthography (or at least in one of its
versions), the equivalent of latin "jä" is rendered as an umlauted
U+044F.
This makes sence considering the political linguistical goals of the
successive cyrillization policies of 1935-1940 in the Soviet Union,
centered on some degree of russification of all orthographies. (A very
high such degree in Karelian, BTW!)
Unicode includes pre-composed ciryllic "ä" and "ö" (U+04D2 / U+04D3 and
U+04E6 / U+04E7), used also in this Karelian cyrillic orthography --
though seems to lack a precomposed umlauted U+044F.
No problem, of course, even if I suspect that most browsers will make a
mess of the я̈-sequence I plan to soon add to a page about
Karelian flags I edit, at < http://www.flagspot.net/flag/su-rukr.html >.
(I wander what they ever did to cyrillize "jö"... If "jo" becomes
U+0451, then perhaps "jö" analogously becomes umlauted U+0451 -- i.e.,
an U+0435 with a 2x2 block of dots above it... Hm, will search and
report.)
