When Д and Л are handwritten with block letters they have pointy tops. Ʌ can be used for Л but to my knowledge there is nothing for Д so I would really like if Д with a pounty top could be added.

Please do not substitute Cyrillic by Greek letters!

Such glyph variants could be encoded as variation sequences using variation selectors (VS) if they are not bound to different font styles.

In the case of Cyrillic, most variations that occur for many italic or cursive fonts actually also occur for upright characters in certain locales, particularly in Bulgarian. Therefore they are often activated by smart font features like OpenType‘s `locl` that rely on the text language being known from metadata tags.
