I lived in Chuvashia for 18 months and I can guarantee that the usual
glyph for U+04AB uses a typical latin-like cedilla -- quite like the

None of those are even remotely cedillic.

Implementations like that will have been based on Unicode 2.0. (Now
let's all chant together "the glyphs are informative".)
Actually, they use typically rather an U+00E7 (latin c-cedilla), both
in modern computer set texts (swapping codepages to and fro Latin1)
and in older media, back to lead typography.
I have seen otherwise, though I have seen cedillas as well.
(And this reminds me of
something quite interesting about cyrillic breves -- stay tuned! :-)
They are usually the curly things as on SHORT I.
