Talk:I with bowl

Dubious names
The name I with a bowl is only used in a single Unicode proposal and Latin yeru is used in two earlier proposals. Are there any real-world sources using these or any other names for the letter? —  AjaxSmack 21:47, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Because when I was translating an article from Ruwiki, the article in Russian was called “I с полуовалом”, and somewhere in some source (after the years have passed, I no longer remember which one🤷‍♂️) I saw the name in this version. The article in Russian is still called that way. Secondly, “Latin yery” seems to me not very successful and historically has nothing in common with the Cyrillic “ь” or “ы” in the graphic sense. It's just a coincidence. And thirdly, it was assumed that this letter would eventually be codified in UNICODE, and this codified letter would take the title of the article. But as you understand over the years, something went wrong. Modun (talk) 05:30, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I saw the Russian title, but didn't check to see if it predated the English article. —  AjaxSmack  00:00, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
 * The issue is essentially that when a character does not exist in Unicode, it has to be paraphrased in terms of other characters. "I with bowl" seems a lot more objective than "Latin yeru" (since it is a completely typographic description rather than an attempt at etymology), as pointed out by Modun. I suppose according to the UTC's decision this article would be called "Ь (Latin letter)". 1234qwer1234qwer4 11:40, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
