Abkhazian Dze (àá; italics: <span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: larger">àá</span>) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. It is used in Abkhaz where it represents the voiced alveolar affricate , pronounced like in "pods".
It is also used in a 2007 alphabet for the Uilta language, where it represents [ (j as in jam or g as in argue). It was also used in one 1937 proposal (not adopted) for the Karelian language.
The letter looks very similar in shape to Latin Ezh (÷, ÃÂ), as well as to numeral 3, but in some fonts the uppercase form of the Abkhazian Dze has no descender or has a shortened tail.
This letter is similar to the Cyrillic letter Dze, representing the same sound.
