Vie, or We (Asomtavruli: Ⴣ; Nuskhuri: ⴣ; Mkhedruli: ჳ; Mtavruli: Ჳ; Georgian: ჳე, ვიე) is the 22nd letter of the three Georgian scripts.[1]

In the system of Georgian numerals, it has a value of 400. In the Georgian language, it represented the diphthong /wi/. It is now obsolete in the Georgian language, due to it gradually being pronounced as the digraph ვი (vi) overtime.[2] Currently, this letter is still used in the Svan language, representing the voiced labial-velar approximant /w/. It is typically romanized with the letters W, and Ü, or with the digraph Wi.[3]
