    At < http://www.gov.khakasnet.ru/images/title.gif >, a U+0431 : CYRILLIC
    SMALL LETTER BE shaped like a U+03B4 : GREEK SMALL LETTER DELTA. this kind
    of variance is not unusual in cyrillic typography; I recall a newspaper
    using for its titles a very heavy face (Egyptian?) in which the letterform
    for U+043B : CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER EL was a reversed U+006E : LATIN SMALL
    LETTER N (while the latters form was, as usual, used for U+043F : CYRILLIC
    SMALL LETTER PE).
