It was invented by Vuk Stefanović Karadžić for use in his 1818 dictionary, replacing the earlier digraph . It corresponds to the digraph in Gaj's Latin alphabet for Serbo-Croatian.

It is today used in Macedonian, variants of Serbo-Croatian when written in Cyrillic (Bosnian language, Montenegrin, and Serbian language), Itelmen language and Udege language, where it represents a palatal nasal , similar to the in "ca nyon" (cf.
