Dzhe(Dž) (Џ, џ) is a letter of Vuk Karadžić's Cyrillic alphabet reform, used in Serbian and Macedonian to represent the affricate /ʤ/ (like the J in English "jump"). It corresponds to the digraphs дж or чж or the letters җ (Zhje), ҷ, or ӂ from some other Cyrillic alphabets and writing systems.
The name Dzhe is actually a provisional designation, as Serbian letters are not named. When spelling is required, it is pronounced as /ʤə/. Sometimes, the name Dzherv is used, following the pattern of traditional names such as Cherv for Ч and Djerv or Gjerv for Ћ.
The origin of the letter Dzhe is the 15th century Romanian Cyrillic alphabet. Serbian scribes began using it in the 17th century.[1]
