List of Cyrillic letters Cyrillic digraphs

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 /d͜ʒ/ from the sequence d-ž in some phonetic dictionaries.[1]

Usage

This letter represents the voiced palato-alveolar affricate /d͡ʒ/. It can be romanized as ⟨dž⟩.
