Dche (Ԭ ԭ; italics: Ԭ ԭ) 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 Che (Ч ч; Ч ч).

Dche was used in an old orthography of the Komi language.[1][2][3]

Usage

This letter represents the voiced alveolo-palatal affricate /d͡ʑ/. It can be romanized as ⟨đ⟩.

It was used chiefly in northeastern European Russia by the Komi language of the Komi peoples.[4] It is equivalent to the digraph Дз дз today.
