There is also another version of yat, the iotified yat (majuscule: , minuscule: ), which is a Cyrillic character combining a decimal I and a yat. There was no numerical value for this letter and it was not in the Glagolitic alphabet. It was encoded in Unicode 5.1 at positions U+A652 and U+A653. Usage Yat represented a Common Slavic long vowel. It is generally believed to have represented the sound or , which was a reflex of earlier Proto-Slavic * and *.
