Short I with tail (Ҋ ҋ; italics: Ҋ ҋ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. It is derived from the Cyrillic letter Short I (Й й) by adding a tail to the right leg.
Short I with tail is used only in the alphabet of the Kildin Sami language to represent the voiceless palatal approximant /j̊/ (similar to the h in huge); the Cyrillic letter Je (Ј ј) may also be used.
