Cyrillic letter
Cyrillic letter Zhwe Phonetic usage: /ʒʷ/
Zhwe (Ꚅ ꚅ; italics: Ꚅ ꚅ ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script . The shape of the letter originated as a ligature of the Cyrillic letters Ze (З з; З з ) and Zhe (Ж ж; Ж ж ).
Zhwe was used in the Abkhaz language where it represented the labialized voiced palato-alveolar sibilant /ʒʷ/ . This was replaced by the digraph Жә.
