Dzwe

Not to be confused with the Georgian letter aen, the Latin letter S, the Cyrillic letter Dze, or the Latin letter esh.

Dzwe (Ꚃ ꚃ; italics: Ꚃ ꚃ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script.^[1] It resembles an intact longer Cyrillic Dze (Ѕ ѕ Ѕ ѕ), but perhaps was derived from the Greek letter ζ.^{[citation needed]}
