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

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. 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.

Voiced labial–velar approximant
A voiced labial–velar approximant is a type of consonantal sound, used in certain spoken languages, including English. It is the sound denoted by the letter ⟨w⟩ in the English alphabet; likewise, the symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨w⟩, or rarely [ɰʷ]. In most languages it is the semivocalic counterpart of a close back rounded vowel [u]. In inventory charts of languages with other labialized velar consonants, /w/ will be placed in the same column as those consonants. When consonant charts have only labial and velar columns, /w/ may be placed in the velar column, labial column, or both. The placement may have more to do with convenience or phonological criteria than with phonetics.

For a labialized post-palatal approximant—sometimes also described as a voiced labial–prevelar approximant—which is more fronted in the place of articulation than a prototypical labial–velar approximant, see Labial–palatal approximant § Post-palatal.
