Zhe with breve is currently used in Moldovan Cyrillic (in use in Transnistria) to represent /d͡ʒ/, the voiced postalveolar affricate, like the pronunciation of ⟨j⟩ in "jam".
It thus corresponds to ⟨g⟩ before front vowels in the Romanian Latin alphabet.
The letter Џ had been used for a similar sound in the Romanian Cyrillic alphabet, used until the 19th century.
Around the turn of the 20th century, it was also used in several Permyak alphabets to represent /d͡ʒ/, and in the Translation Committee's Abkhaz alphabet to represent [ʒ],[1] the voiced postalveolar fricative, as in pleasure, which corresponds to Жь жь in the modern Abkhaz alphabet (Zhe alone represented, and still represents, [ʐ], the voiced retroflex fricative).
In its modern usage, Zhe with breve corresponds in other Cyrillic alphabets to the digraphs ⟨дж⟩ or ⟨чж⟩, or to the letters Che with descender (Ҷ ҷ), Che with vertical stroke (Ҹ ҹ), Dzhe (Џ џ), Khakassian Che (Ӌ ӌ), Zhe with diaeresis (Ӝ ӝ), or Zhje (Җ җ).
