The Cyrillic alphabet and Russian spelling generally employ fewer diacritics than those used in other European languages written with the Latin alphabet.

Zhe, from Alexandre Benois' 1904 alphabet book Zhe , Zha , or Zhu , sometimes transliterated as Že (Ж ж; italics: Ж ж ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script .

The Russian (and Cyrillic in general) cursive was developed during the 18th century on the base of the earlier Cyrillic tachygraphic writing (ско́ропись, skoropis, "rapid or running script"), which in turn was the 14th–17th-century chancery hand of the earlier Cyrillic bookhand scripts (called ustav and poluustav).

[1] In the Russian nominal genitive ending -ого, -его, ghe represents , including in the word сегодня ("today", from сего дня).
