In NetHack, the letter J serves the following purposes:

J represents a jabberwock, the sole member of its monster class in vanilla NetHack; the vorpal jabberwock is an unused monster of the same class that still exists in the game code.

It is also used as a direction key if numpad movement is off:
- Press j to move south.
- Press shift + j to move far south.

UnNetHack, GruntHack, SLASH'EM, EvilHack and SpliceHack implement the vorpal jabberwock, J, based on the unused monster in NetHack.

In addition to the vorpal jabberwock, SLASH'EM also introduces several new creatures that use the j glyph:
