If you mean that it's not used when writing Lojban in Cyrillic, that's because it doesn't match Lojban phonology. Russian has some words (все:всё, узнаете:узнаёте) in which one form has "ye" and another has "yo". Lojban doesn't. In Lojban "yo" is a diphthong, written {io}, not a single sound. There is no soft/hard distinction in Lojban. There are some other Cyrillic letters not used in writing Lojban, such as ч and щ. ч is written тш, which occurs in {тшати}, which has to have a consonant cluster to be a brivla, and щ is written штш, which occurs in {миштши}, where it straddles a morpheme boundary. > Rest characters are considered become obsolete, but philologists are > used their .
