In the Cyrillic numeral system, the Cyrillic letter A had a value of 1.
Form
Through history the Cyrillic letter А has had various shapes, but today is standardised on one that looks exactly like the Latin letter A, including the italic forms.
Usage
In most languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet – such as Russian, Serbian, Macedonian and Bulgarian – the Cyrillic letter A represents an open front unrounded vowel /a/.
It is also used in the Ingush and Chechen languages to represent /ɑ/ and /ə/.
