U+0135 "ĵ" Latin Small Letter J with Circumflex Unicode Character

U+0135 "ĵ" Latin Small Letter J with Circumflex is a grapheme used primarily in the Esperanto alphabet, where it represents the voiced postalveolar fricative sound, similar to the English "zh" in "measure". It is formed by combining the base letter "j" with a circumflex diacritic, and its uppercase counterpart is U+0134 "Ĵ". This character is distinct from the more common Latin "j" and is essential for writing Esperanto orthography, appearing in words such as "ĵurnalo" (newspaper) and "aĵo" (thing).
