Zhe with diaeresis (Ӝ ӝ; italics: Ӝ ӝ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. [1] Its form is derived from the Cyrillic letter Zhe (Ж ж Ж ж ). Zhe with diaeresis is used only in the alphabet of the Udmurt language , [ 2 ] where it represents the voiced postalveolar affricate /d͡ʒ/ , like the pronunciation of j in " j am". [ 3 ]
Sje (С́ с́; italics: С́ с́) is a letter of the Cyrillic alphabet, formed from the Cyrillic Es (С с С с) with the addition of an acute accent (not to be confused with the Latin letter Ć). It is used in the Montenegrin alphabet, where it represents the voiceless alveolo-palatal sibilant /ɕ/. It corresponds to the Latin Ś. [1]
Some Ukrainian scholars argue that it is shape of beetle, since Zhe is the first phoneme in the Slavic word жукъ (žuk), meaning "beetle". [1] In the Early Cyrillic alphabet the name of Zhe was живѣтє (živěte), meaning "live" (imperative). Zhe was not used in the Cyrillic numeral system.

The Cyrillic script (/ s ɪ ˈ r ɪ l ɪ k / ⓘ sih-RIH-lick) is a writing system used for various languages across Eurasia.It is the designated national script in various Slavic, Turkic, Mongolic, Uralic, Caucasian and Iranic-speaking countries in Southeastern Europe, Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia, North Asia, and East Asia, and used by many other minority languages.
The Kalmyk (хальмг) Cyrillic script differs from Khalkha in some respects: there are additional letters (Әә, Җҗ, Ңң, Һһ), letters Ээ, Юю and Яя appear only word-initially, long vowels are written double in the first syllable (нөөрин), but single in syllables after the first.
The details vary by author, and depend on which letters are available for the language of the text. For instance, in a work written in Ukrainian , г may be used for [ ɣ ] (the voiced equivalent of х ), whereas in Russian texts, г is used for [ ɡ ] .
