Talk:Yo (Cyrillic)

message: True or false: this letter is written as a plain E except in Russian texts for learners which is when it is written with the diaresis. 66.245.78.144 17:20, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: False. It is also used to distinguish words such as всё and все that would otherwise be ambiguous. It also occurs in transcriptions from such languages as Chinese and Korean. It is regularly used in dictionaries, and it often appears in the lyrics of songs to facilitate reading. I've noticed that more and more writing on the Web uses it consistently.

message: For quite some time I am horribly bugged with an enigma of some pre-Revolutionary names which are transcribed in some English books with 'yo', but I have never seen them with Ё. Examples include
*Lyov Bronstein (could well have been  "Löw" like in Rabbi Löw)
*Alexander Kutyopov (eg in Jamie Bisher, White Terror: Cossack Warlords of the Trans-Siberian)
*Nikolai Yudyonich (eg in White Eagle, Red Star  by Norman Davies)
The last two examples are by historians who worked with original documents of the period, and I doubt they made typos here. Does anyone know anything? `'Míkka 06:35, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I was surprised to see that the android keyboard dictionary contains words in ye spelling only. Is it still common in general that computer software defaults to ye?--78.49.229.55 (talk) 15:48, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Ёless electronic dictionaries are not uncommon, but indicate a failure, comparable to a French dictionary that doesn’t support accents. The last character encoding of Russian that didn’t include Ё was KOI7, so one can’t say that the letter is neglected. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 16:15, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

message: However, the 〈ё〉 is not used in the Russian transcription of the Chinese language, as the syllable that is spelled you in pinyin is represented by 〈ю〉 in the standard Russian transcription, and yao is 〈яо〉.
This statement is wrong. The syllable yo is transcribed as ё. --2.245.192.184 (talk) 03:10, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, but the syllable yo in Chinese only exists as interjections (哟, 唷), so it would not usually be transcribed. Double sharp (talk) 04:59, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
