U+0496 "Җ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Zhe with Descender Unicode Character

U+0496 "Җ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Zhe with Descender is a modified form of the standard Cyrillic letter Zhe (Ж), which includes a descender that extends below the baseline. This letter is used in several non-Slavic languages that utilize the Cyrillic script, such as the Turkmen, Kalmyk, and Tatar alphabets, where it typically represents the voiced postalveolar affricate sound /dʒ/ (similar to the English "j" in "jump"). It should not be confused with the similar-looking but distinct Unicode character U+04D6 "Ӗ" or other diacritic variants, as its specific visual feature a short tail or hook hanging from the bottom of the glyph uniquely distinguishes it from standard Zhe.
