Twe (Ꚍ ꚍ; italics: Ꚍ ꚍ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. Its glyph is derived from a lowercase Greek Tau.[1]
Twe was used in old Abkhaz and in old Ossetian.
Usage
In Abkhaz, it represents the labialized voiceless alveolar plosive ⓘ, like the pronunciation of ⟨tw⟩ in "twin". It corresponds to the digraph Тә in Cyrillic.
