List of Cyrillic letters

Ye (Є, є) is a letter of the Cyrillic alphabet, used in Ukrainian and Rusyn languages to represent the iotated vowel sound /je/ and the patalised /e/ sound.

In Old East Slavic it represents /e/ without patalisation (a patalised /e/ in Old East Slavic is represented by Ѥ) and is interchangable with Е as a typographic variant. It is rarely used before a consonant.

The letter should not be confused with the symbol for the euro currency, €.
