Schwa (Cyrillic)
Cyrillic schwa (Ә, ә) is a Cyrillic letter. It is currently used
in Kazakh, Bashkir, Udmurt and other languages of the ex-USSR. It was also used in Tatar, Azeri, and Turkmenian, before those languages switched to the Latin alphabet.
In all Cyrillic alphabets it presented the vowel sound /æ/, because the same sound was presented by the latin letter Schwa in Janalif, the pan-Turkic alphabet.
A schwa-umlaut symbol is also used, encoded in Unicode at U+04da Cyrillic capital letter schwa with diaeresis and U+04db Cyrillic small letter schwa with diaeresis and showing in your browser as .
