Neutral Yer
Not to be confused with the Cyrillic letter
Ъ.
Neutral Yer (Majuscule: Ꙏ, Minuscule: ꙏ) is used in transcribing documents when it is hard to tell the difference between a Ь and a Ъ. It was common in Late Medieval Russian archival materials and scripts.
The appearance looks like a Yer with a hook on the top.
