You could use the accsupp package. But it could affect the kerning
so I don't if this a good solution for you:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
\usepackage{accsupp}

\DeclareUnicodeCharacter{0456}{\BeginAccSupp{method=hex,unicode,ActualText=0456}\cyrii\EndAccSupp{}}
\begin{document}


прив(і)т

\end{document}
