U+01EE "Ǯ" Latin Capital Letter Ezh with Caron Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ǯ
U+01EE "Ǯ" Latin Capital Letter Ezh with Caron is a specialized typographic symbol that combines the Ezh letter, which looks like a tailed Z, with a caron diacritic, a small wedge-shaped mark placed above it. This character is primarily used in certain phonetic transcription systems and some languages, particularly within the Uralic and Finno-Ugric language families, where it represents a specific voiced postalveolar or retroflex fricative sound that requires modification of the standard Ezh. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that linguists, orthographers, and digital text systems can accurately encode and display this distinct letter across platforms without relying on ad hoc substitutions or formatting tricks.
