Я
I don't think this module should transliterate Я. It didn't exist yet in Old Cyrillic, it was a later graphical variant of Ѧ. So the two forms should really be treated equivalently if we accept Я at all. 07:40, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I think it definitely should be transliterated whenever we do happen to have a quotation that uses it. Usually when we have such a quotation, we can try to look for the original, but, as in the case of the third quotation at, I can't seem to find the original anywhere online. But even if we consider all instances of Я to be wrong, they will still pop up and it would be better to transliterate them.
 * Now as for how to transliterate it, I'm not so sure, since it is used to replace both ꙗ and ѧ. I would find it odd to transliterate язъ as "ęzǔ". One thing to consider is that in later Old East Slavic, ѧ was pronounced as "ja" anyway. --WikiTiki89 07:54, 6 February 2014 (UTC)


 * ꙗ is quite new in Unicode, and until recently, the only option was to enter it as я. In the fonts surveyed in the tables on Appendix talk:Old Cyrillic script, one renders the code point я with the glyph ѧ, and two with ꙗ. So I think Wikitiki89 is on the right track.


 * Another option would be to render inappropriate letters with the “missing glyph” character �, as an indicator that the source text has an error to be edited.


 * Anyway, better to do something with the я if it shows up, than nothing at all. —Michael Z. 2014-02-06 08:34 z
