U+0292 "ʒ" Latin Small Letter Ezh is a distinct letter used in the International Phonetic Alphabet to represent the voiced postalveolar fricative sound, as heard in the English word "measure" or the French "je". It originated as a cursive adaptation of the Latin letter Z, and its uppercase form is the "Ʒ" Ezh, which should not be confused with the similar-looking numeral 3. Beyond phonetics, Ezh appears in the alphabets of several indigenous languages, including those spoken in Africa and the Americas, and is also employed in constructed languages for precise sound representation.
