Зз
The letter “зэ”
/z/
З з sounds like z, as in "zoo". Shaped like the digit 3; don't confuse them when reading quickly.
Where is З on the keyboard?
On Russian Phonetic, з is on the key QWERTY prints as "z", left little finger. On ЙЦУКЕН it is on the key QWERTY prints as "p", right little finger. Two different physical keys for one letter, which is why moving between the two layouts is its own skill rather than a detail.
