Eni, or En (Asomtavruli: Ⴄ; Nuskhuri: ⴄ; Mkhedruli: ე; Mtavruli: Ე; Georgian: ენი, ენ) is the 5th letter of the three Georgian scripts.[1]

In the system of Georgian numerals, it has a value of 5.[2] Eni commonly represents the mid front unrounded vowel /e̞/, like between the pronunciation of ⟨e⟩ in "embassy" and the pronunciation of ⟨e⟩ in "bed" (General Australian). It is typically romanized with the letter E.[3]
