Tje (Ᲊ ᲊ; italics: Ᲊ ᲊ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. It comes from a ligature of Te (Т т) and soft sign (Ь ь). The letter has been used in Eastern Khanty and Northern Khanty since 2013, where it represents the palatalized voiceless alveolar plosive /tʲ/, like the pronunciation of the t in "tube" in British English.[1]
