Dje (ÃÂ ÃÂ; italics: <span style="font-family: times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: larger">ÃÂ ÃÂ</span>) is a letter of the Cyrillic script.
Dje is the sixth letter of the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet and Montenegrin Cyrillic alphabet, used in Serbo-Croatian to represent the voiced alveolo-palatal affricate .
Dje corresponds to the Latin letter D with stroke (ÃÂ ÃÂ) in Gaj's Latin alphabet of Serbo-Croatian and is so transliterated. When strokes are unavailable, it is transliterated as or .
Dje was constructed by request of Vuk StefanoviàKaradà ¾iÃÂ. There were several proposed shapes of the letter (one by Pavle SolariÃÂ, another by Gligorije Gerà ¡iÃÂ). The variant now in use was designed by Lukijan Muà ¡icki; it was designed by modification of the letter ÃÂ, itself a revival of the old Cyrillic letter Djerv (êÂÂ). The new letter was adopted in Karadà ¾iÃÂ's 1818 dictionary and thus entered widespread usage. There was also a àand ì ligature variant that has not been added in Unicode as a character, and was used before Dje took its current form.
