Dhe (Cyrillic)

Ze with descender (Ҙ ҙ; italics: Ҙ ҙ), or Dhe is a letter of the Cyrillic script. It is used in both the Bashkir^[1] and Wakhi languages, where it represents the voiced dental fricative /ð/ and the voiced alveolar affricate /d͡z/ respectively. Its form is derived from the Cyrillic letter Ze (З з З з). It is romanized as Z with acute ⟨ź⟩ for Bashkir, and corresponds with Ezh ⟨ʒ⟩ in the Latin script of the Wakhi language.
