He, Ei, or E-merve (Asomtavruli: Ⴡ; Nuskhuri: ⴡ; Mkhedruli: ჱ; Mtavruli: Ჱ; Georgian: ეჲ, ეი, ე-მერვე) is the 8th letter of the three Georgian scripts. In the Georgian language, it represented the diphthong /e̞j/. Currently, it is only used in the Svan language, where it is used for /eː/.
In the system of Georgian numerals, it has a value of 8. It is now obsolete in the Georgian language, replaced by ეჲ (ei) due to its identical pronunciation. It is typically romanized with the letter E with macron (Ē) or with the digraph Ey.
