Ż, ż (Z with overdot) is a letter, consisting of the letter Z of the ISO basic Latin alphabet and an overdot.
== Usage == ===Polish=== thumb|right|250px|Signage on Polish municipal police () cars uses both the standard form (Ż, on the door) and the variant with horizontal stroke ([[Ƶ, on the roof sign)]] thumb|right|250px|Żubr (beer)|Żubr beer - crossed variant of the letter Ż: [[Ƶ]] In the Polish language, ż is the final, 32nd letter of the alphabet. It typically represents the voiced retroflex fricative (), somewhat similar to the pronunciation of in "mirae"; however, in a word-final position or when followed by a voiceless obstruent, it is devoiced to the voiceless retroflex fricative ().
