Sje (С́ с́; italics: С́ с́) is a letter of the Cyrillic alphabet, formed from the Cyrillic Es (С с С с) with the addition of an acute accent (not to be confused with the Latin letter Ć). It is used in the Montenegrin alphabet, where it represents the voiceless alveolo-palatal sibilant /ɕ/. It corresponds to the Latin Ś.^[1] It is not to be confused with the Latin Ć, which represents the voiceless alveolo-palatal affricate /t͡ɕ/ (the sound of Ћ).

Origins

The first proposal for the codification of /ɕ/ in Montenegrin comes from 1884. It was proposed by Lazar Tomanović, Montenegrin attorney, journalist and politician. He proposed the use of a Cyrillic digraph шј to represent the sound. He equated the digraph with the Polish letter ś.^[2] The first instance of usage of the accented Cyrillic letter с́ was in 1926 by Danilo Vušović.^[3] 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 fo the Montenegrin alphabet by Dr. Vojislav Nikčević in the 1970s that included 33 letters instead of present-day 32.

Computing codes

Being a relatively recent letter, not present in any legacy 8-bit Cyrillic encoding, the letter С́ is not represented directly by a precomposed character in Unicode either; it has to be composed as С+◌́ (U+0301).
