Sje (áàÃÂÃÂ; italics: <span style="font-family: times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: larger">áàÃÂÃÂ</span>) is a letter of the Cyrillic alphabet, formed from the Cyrillic Es (á à<span style="font-family: times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: larger">á ÃÂ</span>) with the addition of an acute accent. It is used in the Montenegrin alphabet, where it represents the voiceless alveolo-palatal sibilant . It corresponds to the Latin à Â. It is not to be confused with the Latin ÃÂ, which represents the voiceless alveolo-palatal affricate /táÃÂ/ (the sound of ÃÂ).
The first proposal for the codification of /ÃÂ/ in Montenegrin comes from 1884. It was proposed by Lazar TomanoviÃÂ, Montenegrin attorney, journalist and politician. He proposed the use of a Cyrillic digraph ÃÂàto represent the sound. He equated the digraph with the Polish letter à Â. The first instance of usage of the accented Cyrillic letter ÃÂàwas in 1926 by Danilo Vuà ¡oviÃÂ. It came into official use in mid-2009, with the adoption of the Law on the Official Language in Montenegro. Previously, it was included in a proposal for the Montenegrin alphabet by Dr. Vojislav NikÃÂeviàin the 1970s that included 33 letters instead of present-day 32.
Being a relatively recent letter, not present in any legacy 8-bit Cyrillic encoding, the letter áàis not represented directly by a precomposed character in Unicode either; it has to be composed as á+âÂÂà(U+0301).
