==Origin== The symbol originates with the 15th-century Czech alphabet as introduced by the reforms of Jan Hus. In 1830, it was adopted into Gaj's Latin alphabet, which is used in Serbo-Croatian. It is also used in Slovak, Slovenian, Latvian, Lithuanian alphabets, in the Northern-Berber Latin alphabet, and in some proposed orthographies of Pomak.
