U+04DE "Ӟ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Ze with Diaeresis Unicode Character

U+04DE "Ӟ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Ze with Diaeresis is a modified letter used in several Uralic languages, most notably Udmurt, where it represents the voiced alveolo-palatal fricative sound /ʑ/, similar to the "s" in "vision" but palatalized. Its visual form combines the standard Cyrillic Ze (З) with two dots or a diaeresis placed above the letter, distinguishing it from the plain Ze and other similar characters in the Cyrillic script. This character is essential for accurate orthography in Udmurt and other minority languages that employ it, ensuring correct representation of their phonetic and grammatical systems within digital text encoding.
