Source: Browser Default
U+AB13 "ꬓ" Ethiopic Syllable Dzaa is a part of the Ethiopic Extended-A block, which was designed to represent sounds from various Gurage languages and other languages of Ethiopia that are not covered by the standard Ethiopic script. It specifically encodes the syllable "dzaa," a voiced alveolar affricate sound followed by a long vowel, and is used in orthographies for languages such as Sebat Bet Gurage to accurately transcribe their phonetic inventory. This character supports the linguistic diversity of the region by providing a distinct glyph for a sound that differs from the more common "za" or "da" syllables in classical Ge'ez based writing systems.
