## How the Old English Z is built

The Fraktur Z (ℨ) is the fifth Letterlike Symbols capital. It often has a tail dropping below the line, closer to a 3 than to a modern Z. The lowercase z is similar, with a hooked base.

## Easily confused with

Capital Z can be mistaken for the digit 3 or for an ornate Y. Its sharp top bar sets it apart.

## Where people use it

Z is used for names like Zoe and Zapata and for zodiac designs. Like C, H, I and R, it may come from a different font on some phones.

## Example words

- Zoe: 𝖅𝖔𝖊
- Zapata: 𝖅𝖆𝖕𝖆𝖙𝖆
- Zodiac: 𝖅𝖔𝖉𝖎𝖆𝖈
- Z.Z.: 𝖅.𝖅.
