'''Sje''' (С́&nbsp;с́; italics: <span style="font-family: times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: larger">''С́&nbsp;с́''</span>) is a letter of the [[Cyrillic alphabet]], formed from [[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]] {{IPA|/ɕ/}}. It corresponds to the [[Latin alphabet|Latin]] [[Ś]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Dzhusupov |first=Makhanbet |date=30 September 2022 |title=The transition from Cyrillic into Latin alphabet and linguographic interference in the Russian speech of the Turkophone |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.22363/2618-8163-2022-20-3-312-329 |journal=Russian Language Studies |volume=20 |issue=3 |pages=312–329 |doi=10.22363/2618-8163-2022-20-3-312-329 |issn=2618-8171|doi-access=free }}</ref> It is not to be confused with the [[Latin alphabet|Latin]] [[Ć]], which represents the [[voiceless alveolo-palatal affricate]] /t͡ɕ/ (the sound of [[Tshe|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.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Tomanović |first1=Lazar |title=Malo o pravopisu |journal=Crnogorka: Listu za književnost i pouku |date=1884 |volume=I |issue=37 |pages=212–213}}</ref> The first instance of usage of the accented Cyrillic letter с́ was in 1926 by Danilo Vušović.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Vušović |first1=Danilo |title=Dialekat istočne Hercegovine |journal=Srpski dialektološki zbornik |date=1927 |volume=III: Rasprave i građa |pages=3–70}}</ref>
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 proposal for 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 [[Combining character|composed]] as [[Es (Cyrillic)|С]]+[[Combining Diacritical Marks|◌́]] (U+0301).
