What sound does Vithkuqi dhe represent?
It writes Albanian dh, like the “th” in English “this.”
Veqilharxhi began work around 1824 or 1825; his first Albanian spelling book appeared in 1844, followed by an expanded primer in 1845. He hoped a locally created alphabet would help Albanian readers across faith communities without tying their writing to Greek, Arabic, or Latin traditions.
Why was the Vithkuqi alphabet created?
It was meant to give Albanian speakers a shared alphabet.
The first primer circulated in southern Albania, from Korçë to Berat. At the 1908 Congress of Manastir, a meeting to choose an alphabet for Albanian schools and publications, delegates chose Latin-based options; Latin spelling later became standard. As of 2026, Vithkuqi also appears in revivalist art and tattoos.

1Why does Vithkuqi dhe show as a box?
A missing-glyph box means the selected font lacks this character. In 2026, Noto Sans Vithkuqi includes Vithkuqi coverage; switching to a font that supports the script changes the display, not the stored letter.
