Ie (letter)

Ie, Hie, or Iota (Asomtavruli: ; Nuskhuri: ; Mkhedruli: ჲ; Mtavruli: Ჲ; Georgian: იე, იოტა, ჲოტა) is the 15th letter of the three Georgian scripts.

Historically, this letter was used instead of ი (i) after vowels. It represents the voiced palatal approximant /j/. In the system of Georgian numerals it has a value of 60. It is now obsolete in the Georgian language, replaced by ი (i) due to its identical pronunciation.. Currently, it is used in the Svan, Mingrelian and the Laz language. It is typically romanized with the letter J or Y.
