Abkhazian Dze

Abkhazian Dze (Ӡ ӡ; italics: Ӡ ӡ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. It is used in Abkhaz where it represents a voiced alveolar affricate [dz], pronounced like ⟨ds⟩ in pods.

It is also used in a 2007 alphabet for the Uilta language, where it represents a voiced postalveolar affricate [], as in the ⟨j⟩ in jam. It was also used in one 1937 proposal (not adopted) for the Karelian language.[citation needed]

The letter is often homoglyphic with the Latin letter Ezh ⟨Ʒ ʒ⟩, but in some fonts the uppercase form of the Abkhazian Dze has no descender or has a shortened tail.

This letter is equivalent to the more common Cyrillic Dze, differing only in shape.
