In Ukrainian, for example, both “ь” and “`” are used. “ь” is used for softer pronounce of the preceding consonant ( тіньовий ), whilst “`” is used for splitting them, like if they were the first letter in a word, even when the next vowel sounds soft otherwise ( пом`якшення -- the last “я” sounds softer the former one ).
