Weird Cyrillic

Wнy does the Cyrillic alpнaвeт (Russian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serвian, Uкrainian, Belarusian, and мanу oтнer  alpнaвeтs coмвined) looк so weird? I'm noт saying Englisн is normal, тнougн. Wнo caмe up wiтн the leттers X and Q? Wнy noт jusт use "Ks" and "Kw"Anyway, in the Cyrillic alpнaвeт тнere's a leттer that looкs liкe 3:З. Suppose you're a Russian мaтнeмaтician and you're reading a book and doing equations. You look at the letter "З" and then your math equation that is 33+4,007. Can you tell the difference? Probably not.
  In Cyrillic, there is no letter that is equivalent to C. That makes sense. In English, the only time we need to use C is when we're doing "Ch", and the Russians have a letter for that:Ч. 
  In Cyrillic, there's another letter that looks like a number: Ч.
  The letter that I'm about to talk about is super ridiculous. It is 7 O's and dots inside of each O. It's hard to explain, so I'm going to show it to you: ꙮ. They don't use it anymore. That's a good thing because it would take 10 seconds to write one letter.
  Usually you only put an umlaut (¨) on one letter, but since Ы looks like two letters, it seems that Ы  is sharing an umlaut: Ӹ.
  Look at these 2 Cyrillic letters: Є and Э. They're mirror images! If you're going to make a letter, you've got to choose which way it's facing.
  This letter looks like someone's spying on you through binoculars: Ꙭ.
  As you can see, Cyrillic is weird.
