U+040F "Џ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Dzhe Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

Џ

U+040F "Џ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Dzhe is a letter used in the Cyrillic alphabets for several South Slavic languages, primarily Serbian and Macedonian, where it represents the voiced alveolar affricate sound similar to the “j” in English “jam” or the “g” in “gem.” Its lowercase form is “џ” at code point U+045F, and the character is uniquely placed in the Cyrillic block of Unicode, distinct from other Cyrillic letters. Historically, it emerged as a necessary glyph to transcribe a sound not present in standard Church Slavonic, and it is often the last letter in the alphabets of languages that use it.
