      <title>Beautiful Ligatures in Serbian Cyrillic</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Ligatures for &amp;ldquo;ль&amp;rdquo; and &amp;ldquo;нь&amp;rdquo; are unique to the Cyrillic alphabets of several Slavic languages in Southeastern Europe. We don&amp;rsquo;t have them in Bulgarian, so I can remember being confused the first time I saw them in Serbia. My confusion turned into fascination once I realized that their construction fused two characters that I knew how to use into one that we simply don&amp;rsquo;t have. You can see љ (&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lje&#34;&gt;Lje&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;) on this road sign for Жељуша in Serbia (with the &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaj%27s_Latin_alphabet&#34;&gt;Serbo-Croatian Latin&lt;/a&gt; representation below it):&lt;/p&gt;
