It commonly represents the palatal approximant /j/, like the pronunciation of ⟨y⟩ in "yes".

History

The Cyrillic letter ј was introduced in the 1818 Serbian dictionary of Vuk Stefanović Karadžić, on the basis of the Latin letter j.[1] Karadžić had previously used ї instead for the same sound, a usage he took from Dositej Obradović,[2] and the final choice also notably edged out another expected candidate, й, used in every other standard Slavic-language Cyrillic script.
