1. What is the origin of the Ӂ letter?
Relying on Wikipedia, it seems like it first appeared in 1967, in Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic, by the ”Decision no. 201 on the introduction of the letter ,,ӂ” in the alphabet of the Moldovan language (17/07/1967), for a more accurate rendering of the sound ,,d͡ʒ”. The elaboration of this decision, as well as the introduction of the new graphic sign, is a repercussion of the 3rd Congress of the Union of Writers from October 1965, when it was requested to return to the Latin script, thus forming the premises for new events to awaken national consciousness in Bessarabia.” [1]
