ezh

Ezh (Ʒ ʒ; ), also called the "tailed z", is a letter, notable for its use in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to represent the voiced palato-alveolar fricative consonant. This sound, sometimes transcribed ⟨zh⟩, occurs in the pronunciation as in vision (), precision (), treasure (), beige (), or pleasure ().

Ezh is also used as a letter in some orthographies of Laz and Skolt Sami, both by itself, and with a caron (⟨Ǯ⟩ ⟨ǯ⟩). In Laz, these represent voiceless alveolar affricate and its ejective counterpart , respectively. In Skolt Sami they respectively denote partially voiced alveolar and post-alveolar affricates, broadly represented and . It also appears in the orthography of some African languages, for example in the Aja language of Benin and the Dagbani language of Ghana, where the uppercase variant looks like a reflected sigma ⟨Σ⟩. It also appears in the orthography of Uropi.
