Je (Cyrillic)


Je is a letter of the Cyrillic script, taken over from the Latin letter J.
It commonly represents the palatal approximant, like the pronunciation of in "yes".

History

The Cyrillic letter ј was introduced in the 1818 Serbian dictionary of Vuk Stefanović Karadžić, on the basis of the Latin letter j. Karadžić had previously used ї instead for the same sound, a usage he took from Dositej Obradović.
