Source: Browser Default
U+0439 "й" Cyrillic Small Letter Short I is a letter in the Cyrillic script, representing the consonant sound /j/ (like the English "y" in "yes") and is derived from the Cyrillic letter и (I) with a breve diacritic to indicate its shortened or semivowel pronunciation. It is the eleventh letter in the Russian alphabet and is used in various other Cyrillic-based languages, including Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Bulgarian. When capitalized, it becomes the character "Й" (U+0419). The letter is visually distinct from the plain и by the small curved mark above it, known as a breve, which signals its different phonetic value in words.
