Cyrillic digraphs |
Zheh (Ж, ж) is a cool letter in the Cyrillic alphabet. It's the seventh letter in most Cyrillic alphabets, but it's the eighth in the Russian one.
This letter makes a sound like "zh." You can hear this sound in English words like "treasure" or "vision." Think of the "s" sound in those words!
Zheh came from an older alphabet called Glagolitic. The letter it came from was called "zhivete." When we write Cyrillic words using English letters, we call this "transliteration." For Zheh, we usually write it as zh in English. In other Slavic languages, you might see it written as Ž.
