Voiced retroflex affricate
A voiced retroflex sibilant affricate is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is or, often simplified to. There is also a ligature, which has been retired by the International Phonetic Association but is still used.
A laminal variant occurs in Polish dż, and apical variants in the Indo-Aryan languages.
