Cyrillische letter

AI overview

Љ (called "Lje" or "Lye") is a letter in the Cyrillic script that represents a soft "l" sound similar to the "ll" in "million." It matters because it allows languages using Cyrillic writing to represent this distinct palatal sound efficiently as a single character rather than as a combination of letters.
