U+052B "ԫ" Cyrillic Small Letter Dzzhe is a lowercase letter from the Cyrillic script, specifically used in the Abkhaz alphabet to represent the voiced alveolar affricate sound /d͡z/, similar to the "dz" in the English word "adze." Its uppercase counterpart is U+052A "Ԫ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Dzzhe, and it belongs to the Cyrillic Extended-B block, which was added to the Unicode standard in 2008 with version 5.2 to support the orthography of minority languages like Abkhaz. The letter is formed as a ligature of "Д" (De) and "З" (Ze), reflecting its composite sound, and it appears primarily in scholarly or native contexts rather than in mainstream digital use.
