U+0404 "Є" Cyrillic Capital Letter Ukrainian Ie Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Є
U+0404 "Є" Cyrillic Capital Letter Ukrainian Ie is a distinct letter in the Cyrillic script used primarily in the Ukrainian alphabet, where it represents the sound /je/ as in the English word "yes." It visually resembles a reversed capital Latin letter "E" with a curved shape, and its lowercase form is "є" (U+0454). This character is a key part of Ukrainian orthography, appearing in common words like "Європа" (Europe) and "єдиний" (united), and it should not be confused with the similar-looking but phonetically different Cyrillic letter "Э" used in Russian.
