The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

The Glagolitic script (, ⰃⰎⰀⰃⰑⰎⰉⰜⰀ, glagolitsa) is the oldest known Slavic alphabet. It is generally agreed to have been created in the 9th century by Saint Cyril, a monk from Thessalonica. He and his brother Saint Methodius were sent by the Byzantine Emperor Michael III in 863 to Great Moravia to spread Christianity among the West Slavs in the area. The brothers decided to translate liturgical books into the contemporary Slavic language understandable to the general population (now known as Old Church Slavonic). As the words of that language could not be easily written by using either the Greek or Latin alphabets, Cyril decided to invent a new script, Glagolitic, which he based on the local dialect of the Slavic tribes from the Byzantine theme of Thessalonica.

After the deaths of Cyril and Methodius, the Glagolitic alphabet ceased to be used in Moravia for political or religious needs. In 886, the students of Cyril and Methodius were expelled and they moved to the First Bulgarian Empire instead. Both the Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabets were used until the 13th–14th century in Bulgaria. The Cyrillic alphabet (which borrowed some letters from the Glagolitic alphabet) was developed at the Preslav Literary School in the late 9th century. The Glagolitic alphabet was preserved only by the clergy of Croatia and Dalmatia to write Church Slavonic. Glagolitic also spread in Bohemia with traces in Pannonia, Moravia and Kievan Rus'.

With the adoption of Latin and Cyrillic alphabets in all Slavic-speaking countries, by the early modern times the Glagolitic script remained in limited liturgical use, and went out of use in the 19th century. Since then it has been a topic of academic interest, after a number of archeological discoveries.
