U+0498 "Ҙ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Ze with Descender Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+0498 "Ҙ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Ze with Descender is a modified letter in the Cyrillic script used primarily in the Bashkir language, where it represents the voiced dental fricative sound /ð/, similar to the "th" in the English word "that". It is formed by adding a descender, a small stroke extending downward from the baseline, to the standard Cyrillic letter Ze (З). This character is part of the extended Cyrillic block and is encoded for digital text to support the specific phonetic needs of Bashkir and a few other languages, ensuring accurate representation in writing systems that require this distinct sound.
