Dwe (Ꚁ ꚁ; italics: Ꚁ ꚁ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. This Cyrillic letter has a protruding vertical stroke (upturn), as with the Cyrillic Ghe with upturn (Ґ ґ Ґ ґ), in the upper left corner of the Cyrillic De (Д д Д д).^[1]

Dwe was used in the old Cyrillic alphabet for the Abkhaz language, where it represented a labialized voiced alveolar stop /dʷ/^ⓘ, like the pronunciation of ⟨dw⟩ in "dwarf". It corresponds to Дә in the new alphabet.
