The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

Dzzhe (Ԫ ԫ; italics: Ԫ ԫ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. The shape of the letter originated as a ligature of the Cyrillic letters De (Д д Д д) and Zhe (Ж ж Ж ж).

Dzzhe is used in the old Komi and Ossetic languages, as well as in Grigoriy Vereshchagin's 1895 Udmurt alphabet. It was later abandoned, possibly due to it looking too much like "дк". It was also used in D. V. Khitrov's Yakut alphabet from 1858 to 1917, corresponding to Дь.

It is used to distinguish the affricate /d͜ʒ/ from the sequence d-ž in some phonetic dictionaries.
