Ž
The grapheme Ž (minuscule: ž) is formed from Latin Z with the addition of caron ((チェコ語:háček), (スロバキア語:mäkčeň), (スロベニア語:strešica), (クロアチア語:kvačica)). It is used in various contexts, usually denoting the voiced postalveolar fricative, a sound similar to English ''g'' in ''mirage'', or Portuguese and French ''j''. In the International Phonetic Alphabet this sound is denoted with , but the lowercase ž is used in the Americanist phonetic notation, as well as in the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet. In addition, ž is used as the romanisation of Cyrillic ж in ISO 9 and scientific transliteration.
For use in computer systems, ''Ž'' and ''ž'' are at Unicode codepoints U+017D and U+017E, respectively. On Windows computers, it can be typed with Alt+0142 and Alt+0158, respectively.
Ž is the final letter of most alphabets that contain it, exceptions including Estonian and Turkmen.
==Origin==
The symbol originates with the 15th century Czech alphabet as introduced by the reforms of Jan Hus. It was also used for the closely related Slovak language. From Czech, it was adopted into the Croatian alphabet by Ljudevit Gaj in 1830, and then into the Slovak, Slovenian, Serbian and Bosnian alphabets. In addition, it features in the orthographies of the Baltic, some Uralic and other languages.
