Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+01EF "ǯ" Latin Small Letter Ezh with Caron is a specialized letter used primarily in the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet and certain linguistic transcriptions for representing a voiced postalveolar affricate sound, similar to the "j" in English "judge." It combines the basic ezh shape, which itself derives from the cursive form of the Latin letter "z," with a diacritical caron placed above it to indicate a specific phonetic modification. This character is distinct from other similar letters, such as the plain ezh or the ezh with a tail, and is encoded in the Unicode Latin Extended-B block to support precise representation of phonetic details in scholarly and language documentation contexts.
