Dzzhe
Dzzhe (Ԫ ԫ; italics: "Ԫ ԫ") is a letter of the Cyrillic script. The shape of the letter originated as a ligature of the Cyrillic letters De (Д д "Д д") and Zhe (Ж ж "Ж ж"). Dzzhe is used in the old Komi and Ossetic languages. It was later abandoned, possibly due to its looking too much like "дк". It is used to distinguish the affricate from the sequence d-ž in some phonetic dictionaries. Usage. This letter represents the voiced palato-alveolar affricate . It can be romanized as ⟨dž⟩.
