The Ʒ ʒ character
The preferred shape of the letter Ʒ ʒ is not like the IPA ezh, but like the Insular G, ᵹ (\u1D79), the capital version of which however is not adopted in Unicode yet. I use Ʒ ʒ (ezh) provisionally since the capital version of Insular G is not adopted in Unicode yet, and the small letter also is missing from most Unicode fonts. The preferred shape is shown in this image:
It should be noted that in NAS this letter denotes the phoneme /dʒ/ and not the phoneme /ʒ/ which is written zj, except before ý where it is written z, e.g. vizjn, azýr.
Alternative graphies
Letters with acute diacritics may be replaced with digraphs as follows á > aa, é > ee, í > ij, ó > eo, ú > ou, ý > yy, œ > oe, ů > uo, å > oa.
Þ, þ may be replaced with Th th, Ʃ ʃ may be replaced with Sh sh and Ʒ ʒ may be replaced with Cg cg or Gj gj.
