ezh

Ezh (capital , lowercase ) is a character in the IPA: . Also called the Tailed Z, it is a voiced postalveolar fricative. (SAMPA: Z) Ezh is used for the 's' sound in words like vision: (SAMPA: " title=""vIZ@n">"vIZ@n) Ezh is used as a letter in some orthographies of the Sami languages, both by itself, and with a hacek.

Confusion with Yogh

In Unicode 1.0 the character was mistakenly unified with the quite different character Yogh , which was not correctly added to Unicode until Unicode 3.0. Yogh is a letter which was used in the extended Latin alphabet to write the Anglo-Saxon and Middle English languages. Ezh resembles a 'Z' with a tail, while Yogh resembles a Arabic numeral 3 which is placed partially below the baseline. To differentiate between ezh and yogh further, the Oxford University Press and the Early English Text Society extend the uppermost tip of the 'yogh' 3 into a little curvature upward. Ezh is also similar in appearance to the blackletter 'z' glyph, but this is considered a glyph variant of 'z', and not an Ezh.
