U+A688 "" Cyrillic Capital Letter Dzze is a historical and non-Slavic variant of the Cyrillic script, representing a sound similar to the voiced affricate found in word-initial positions of some languages like Abkhaz. It was used in certain Cyrillic-based orthographies during the 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly for transcribing Caucasian languages, though it is now largely obsolete due to alphabet reforms. The letter visually resembles a combination of a "D" and a "Z" stacked or ligated together, reflecting its phonetic role as a unitary symbol distinct from the digraph "дз".
