⟨ ѕ⟩ corresponded to a more archaic /dz/ pronunciation, already absent in East Slavic at the start of the historical period, but kept by tradition in certain words until the eighteenth century in secular writing, and in Church Slavonic and Macedonian to the present day.For example, a Greek prefix originally spelled ⟨аѵто-⟩ (equivalent to English auto-) is now spelled ⟨ авто⟩ in most cases and ⟨ ауто-⟩ as a component in some compound words.
In spellings of the eighteenth century, it was also used after some vowels, where it has since been replaced with ⟨ в⟩ or (rarely) ⟨ у⟩.
ѵ - From the Greek upsilon, usually identical to ⟨и⟩ in pronunciation, as in Byzantine Greek, was used etymologically for Greek loanwords, like Latin Y (as in synod, myrrh) by 1918, it had become very rare. ѳ - From the Greek theta, was identical to ⟨ ф⟩ in pronunciation, but was used etymologically (for example, ⟨ Ѳёдоръ⟩ "Theodore" became ⟨ Фёдор⟩ "Fyodor"). Since its elimination in 1918, it has remained a political symbol of the old orthography. ѣ - Originally had a distinct sound, but by the middle of the eighteenth century had become identical in pronunciation to ⟨ е⟩ in the standard language. і - Identical in pronunciation to ⟨ и⟩, was used exclusively immediately before other vowels and the ⟨ й⟩ (" Short I") (for example, ⟨ патріархъ⟩, 'patriarch') and in the word ⟨ міръ⟩ ('world') and its derivatives, to distinguish it from the word ⟨ миръ⟩ ('peace') (the two words are actually etymologically cognate and not arbitrarily homonyms).

Silent, palatalizes the preceding consonant (if phonologically possible) Silent, prevents palatalization of the preceding consonant Similar to a double "sh" as in pu sh ships Initially an old variant of the Bulgarian alphabet, it became used in the Kievan Rusʹ since the 10th century to write what would become the modern Russian language. It comes from the Cyrillic script, which was devised in the 9th century for the first Slavic literary language, Old Slavonic. 
The Russian alphabet ( ру́сский алфави́т, russkiy alfavit, or ру́сская а́збука, russkaya azbuka, more traditionally) is the script used to write the Russian language.
