Dzwe (Ꚃ ꚃ; italics: Ꚃ ꚃ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. It resembles an intact longer Cyrillic Dze (Ѕ ѕ Ѕ ѕ), but perhaps was derived from the Greek letter ζ.
Dzwe was used in the Abkhaz language where it represented the labialized voiced alveolo-palatal affricate . This was replaced by the digraph Ӡә.
