Zhwe
Zhwe (Ꚅ ꚅ; italics: Ꚅ ꚅ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. The shape of the letter originated as a ligature of the Cyrillic letters Ze (З з З з) and Zhe (Ж ж Ж ж).
Zhwe was used in the Abkhaz language where it represented the voiced palato-alveolar sibilant /ʒʷ/. This was replaced by the diagraph Жә.
