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 /dʷ/, like the pronunciation of ⟨dw⟩ in "dwarf". It corresponds to Дә in the new alphabet.
