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 [dʒ], as in the ⟨j⟩ in jam. It was also used in one 1937 proposal (not adopted) for the Karelian language.
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.
