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.
