The letter "j" originated in the late Middle Ages, around the 14th century, as a variant of the letter "i." It was initially used to represent a consonantal sound, distinct from the vowel sound of "i." The letter was officially recognized in the alphabet by the 16th century, particularly in the works of scholars like Gian Giorgio Trissino. Its adoption in printing and standardization in various languages solidified its status as a separate letter.
