Dear Cyrillic GP,

Latin GP has been working on Cross-script variants with Cyrillic script.

Latin GP wants to share with you two findings of Latin GP:

1. Latin GP has identified one variant set which would lead to an in-script variant in Cyrillic script LGR.
2. Latin GP has found 6  cross-script variants with Cyrillic script which were not included by Cyrillic GP.

Cyrillic in-script variant finding

During a thorough investigation of variants with Cyrillic script, Latin GP  came to the conclusion that one Latin character, U+0079, should be a variant of two different Cyrillic characters, U+04AF and U+0443. Cyrillic GP has already classified U+0079 and U+0443 as variants. Latin GP considers U+04AF to be sufficiently similar to the other characters.

This finding leads towards an in-script variant in Cyrillic script, i.e. between U+04AF and U+0443, due to the requirement of transitivity.

Codepoints of this variant include:

Source Unicode Name	Source Code Point	Source Glyph	Target Glyph	Target Code Point	Target Unicode Name	Rationale
LATIN SMALL LETTER Y	0079	y	ү	04AF	CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER STRAIGHT U	Glyphs identical due to font design
LATIN SMALL LETTER Y	0079	y	у	0443	CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER U	Homoglyph

The next steps might  be the discussion with IP.

Latin-Cyrillic cross-script analysis findings

Latin GP has identified the following cross-script variants set between Latin and Cyrillic script which are not included by Cyrillic GP

	Source Unicode Name	Source Code Point	Source Glyph	Target Glyph	Target Code Point	Target Unicode Name	Rationale
1.	LATIN SMALL LETTER R	0072	r	г	0433	CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER GHE	Glyphs nearly identical due to font design
2.	LATIN SMALL LETTER Y	0079	y	ү	04AF	CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER STRAIGHT U	Glyphs nearly identical due to font design
3.	LATIN SMALL LETTER R WITH ACUTE	0155	ŕ	ѓ	0453	CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER GJE	Glyphs nearly identical due to font design
4.	LATIN SMALL LETTER R WITH STROKE	024D	ɍ	ғ	0493	CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER GHE WITH STROKE	Glyphs nearly identical due to font design
5.	LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DOT BELOW	1EE5	ụ	џ	045F	CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER DZHE	Glyphs nearly identical due to font design
6.	LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH TILDE	1EF9	ỹ	Ӯ	04EF	CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER U WITH MACRON	Glyphs nearly identical due to font design
