ز ze called zāʼe mǒhmala or zāʼe manqūt̤a

H ز ze (called zāʼe mǒhmala or zāʼe manqūt̤a) is the sixteenth letter of the Hindūstānī alphabet (the thirteenth of the Persian, and the eleventh of the Arabic), and has the sound of the English z. It has no corresponding letter in the Nāgarī alphabet, in which it is represented by ज़, or more commonly changed to ज j, as roj for roz, jor for zor, &c. In reckoning by abjad, it stands for 7; and in almanacs, it represents Saturday, and the sign Scorpio.
