Dwe (Cyrillic) Explained

Dwe (Ꚁ ꚁ; italics:

Ꚁ ꚁ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. The Cyrillic letter has a protruding vertical stroke (upturn), as with Ghe with upturn (Ґ ґ Ґ ґ), in the upper left corner of De (Д д Д д).[1]

Dwe was used in the old Cyrillic alphabet for the Abkhaz language, where it represented a labialized voiced alveolar stop pronounced as //dʷ//, like the pronunciation of (dw) in "dwarf". It corresponds to Дә in the new alphabet.
