The Russian "Z" is a symbol used to show support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine, originating from military markings that the Russian Ministry of Defence claimed meant "Za pobedu" (for victory) or for goals like "demilitarization" and "denazification," also signifying "Zapad" (West) or "Za nashikh" (for our own). It quickly became a widespread, easily recognizable pro-war emblem used in propaganda, merchandise, and public displays, alongside the "V" symbol, often seen as a symbol of nationalistic support for the military action.

People write 'z' as a '3' (or a cursive 'z' looks like a '3') due to shared origins with the Greek letter Zeta (Ζ) in both Latin and Cyrillic alphabets, creating similar fluid, looping shapes in handwriting, and sometimes to distinguish it from other letters like '2' or 'y', with some variations like the ezh (Ʒ) in Slavic languages looking identical to '3'.

This rule ensures consistent spelling in endings, like using -и for plural nouns (книги - books) or -и in adjectives (русский - Russian), preventing common errors for learners.
