Little yus was used for /ja/ and big yus for unknown vowels, transcribed in later Romanian as /ɨ/ and /ə/. Now Romanian uses the Latin alphabet and /ɨ/ is written Îî or Ââ. /ə/ is written as Ăă. One of the first transcriptions of the big yus as î in Romanian is found in Samuel Klain, Acathist, Sibii, 1801.
Before the reform of 1945, this sound was written with two letters, "ъ" and "ѫ" ("big yus", denoting a former nasal vowel). Additionally "ъ" was used silently after a final consonant, as in Russian. In 1945 final "ъ" was dropped; and the letter "ѫ" was abolished, being replaced by "ъ" in most cases.
