The letter ⠽ і was once found in Russian Braille, but has been dropped. ⠜ є is the mirror image of a reported archaic form of Russian э. (See obsolete letters of Russian Braille.)

⠻ g was reported in Unesco (1990), but could not be confirmed by Unesco (2013). It is not repeated by Leksika.com.^[1]
