Э is for entsiclopediya

This letter is analogous to the short "e" in English, and looks like Ээ in handwriting. It isn't very common in Russian -- it appears mostly in words borrowed from other languages. You're much more likely to encounter our old friend Ee (that sounds like "ye").

Энциклопедия ("entsiklopediya") is an encyclopedia. There is a really big one at the library!
