| ஜ<ref>This letter does not belong to Tamil script. But widely accepted as an ad-hoc from [[Grantha script]] ( See [[Tamil script#Usage of other lingual consonants|Usage of other lingual consonants in Tamil script]]). This sound may be replaced by ச (as in [[Voiceless alveolar fricative|s]]) in pure Tamil, which is not an accurate phonetic representation.</ref> ||  align="left"| he'''dg'''e
