I have this comic book in Russian that uses characters I don't know from my Russian learning materials.
Please see my image. There are:
- small m
- и with line on top
- g
- mirrored s
Which 'standard' characters do they represent?

Which 'standard' characters do they represent?
-small m = т
-и with line on top = й
-g = д
-mirrored s = г
These are handwriting style characters, but some of them (m
, -и with line on top
and mirrored s
in particular) are also used in italicized version of some Russian fonts, Arial and Times New Roman to name a few.
д
: like curved Greek small delta, similar to partial derivative sign. This seems to be a more common shape for in computer fonts.
