U+045F "џ" Cyrillic Small Letter Dzhe Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
џ
U+045F "џ" Cyrillic Small Letter Dzhe is a letter used in several Cyrillic-based alphabets, most notably in the Serbian, Macedonian, and Montenegrin languages, where it represents the voiced postalveolar affricate sound similar to the "j" in English "jungle" or the "dg" in "judge". It is the last letter of the Serbian and Macedonian alphabets and is derived historically from a ligature of the Cyrillic letters "Т" and "Ш" (tse and sha), though it has its own distinct form in modern typography. The uppercase counterpart is U+040F "Џ".
