Āryabhaṭa numeration
[edit]Aryabhata used Devanagari letters for numbers, very similar to the Greek numerals, even after the invention of Indian numerals. The values of the different forms of झ are:[1]
- झ [d͡ʒʱə] = 9 (९)
- झि [d͡ʒʱɪ] = 900 (९००)
- झु [d͡ʒʱʊ] = 90,000 (९० ०००)
- झृ [d͡ʒʱri] = 9,000,000 (९० ०० ०००)
- झॢ [d͡ʒlə] = 9×108 (९०८)
- झे [d͡ʒʱe] = 9×1010 (९०१०)
- झै [d͡ʒʱɛː] = 9×1012 (९०१२)
- झो [d͡ʒʱoː] = 9×1014 (९०१४)
- झौ [d͡ʒʱɔː] = 9×1016 (९०१६)

In many languages, झ is pronounced as [d͡ʒʱə] or [d͡ʒʱ] when appropriate. In Marathi, झ is sometimes pronounced as [d͡zʱə] or [d͡zʱ] in addition to [d͡ʒʱə] or [d͡ʒʱ].
Bengali script
[edit]ঝ is used as a basic consonant character in all of the major Bengali script orthographies, including Bengali and Assamese.
