This is old Cyrillics... Is it not present in all the fonts, perhaps?

I don't know, I will have to look into this. This character, "yat"
(transliteration), has been excluded from the Russian alphabet in the
early 20th century (1921, if the memory serves), so I am hypothesizing
that some Cyrillic fonts simply lack it.

Like I said, I'll try to look into it.

Boris.
