Hi Tomas,
As I promised, I have looked into the problem you are describing.

The answer to your question is that this character is not used.
I have two authoritative links on the subject.
The first is the cyrillic soup of Roman Czyborra. Take a look at it:
http://czyborra.com/charsets/cyrillic.html#CP1251
It has the table of CP1251 to unicode mapping in the link
http://czyborra.com/charsets/cp1251.txt.gz
The other one if Microsoft's MSDN.
It lists the corresponding to cp1251 as Unicode FFFE and the character
itself is unused.
The link is:

If you find your browser crashing, try this one:

MS has created a monster site. I can use it successfully only using both
IE on Windows and Galeon on Linux.
