Yeri (Ы) was originally a [[ligature (typography)|ligature]] of Yer and I (Ꙑ). [[Iotation]] was indicated by ligatures formed with the letter I: [[Iotated A (Cyrillic)|Ꙗ]] (ancestor of modern ya, я), {{Unicode|Ѥ}}, Ю (ligature of I and ОУ), {{Unicode|Ѩ}}, {{Unicode|Ѭ}}. Many letters had variant forms and commonly used ligatures, for example И=І=Ї, {{Unicode|Ѡ}}={{Unicode|Ѻ}}, Оу ⁄ ОУ={{Unicode|Ѹ}}, {{Unicode|ѠТ}}={{Unicode|Ѿ}}.
 
The letters also had numeric values, based not on the native Cyrillic alphabetical order, but inherited from the letters' [[Greek numerals|Greek ancestors]].
