Alphabet

Ukrainian does not use all the letters of the Russian alphabet, and it has the additional letters є, ґ, і, ї.

The letter ⠽ і was once found in Russian Braille, but has been dropped. ⠜ є is the mirror image of a reported archaic form of Russian э. (See obsolete letters of Russian Braille.)
