Ukrainian Ye (Є, є; italics: Є, є) is a letter of the Cyrillic alphabet.

It commonly represents the vowel /e/ or /ɛ/, similar to the English pronunciation of ‹e› in "yes". (See Usage below for more detail.)

History

The Cyrillic letter Ukrainian Ye was derived from the Greek letter Epsilon (Ε, ε).

In the Early Cyrillic alphabet its name was Template:Script (estĭ), meaning "am" or "is" - present tense from "to be".

In the Cyrillic numeral system, Ukrainian Ye had a value of 5.

Usage

Ukrainian Ye is used in Ukrainian and Rusyn to represent /je/, or the iotated vowel sound /e/ after a palatalized consonant.

In Old East Slavic it represents /e/ without palatalization (a palatalized /e/ in Old East Slavic is represented by ‹Ѥ›) and is interchangeable with Ye (Е, е) as a typographic variant.

The United States Federal Geographic Data Committee uses a character similar to capital Ukrainian Ye to represent the Cambrian Period in geologic history.^[1]

The letter is similar to the symbol for the euro currency ‹€›. In a memorandum from the European Commission on the design of the euro sign, the letter was accidentally used to represent the Greek letter Epsilon.^[2]
