Fe (majuscule Ֆ; minuscule ֆ; Armenian: ֆէ or ֆե [fɛ]) is the 39th[1] letter of the Armenian alphabet. It does not have a numerical value meaning, as it was among the original Mesropian letters.[2]

Usage

[edit]

Fe is used to represent the sound [f].

Contrary to the first 36 letters of the Armenian alphabet, Fe and O were added to the original alphabet in the 13th century.

In the ISO 9985 standard, the letter is transliterated as "f".
