Z
Final English letter
Z is the twenty-sixth letter of the English alphabet, pronounced "zee" in American English and "zed" in British.
As a symbol, Z marks the end—the last item, the final word.
Generation Z refers to people born roughly 1997–2012.
In recent usage, Z has become associated with Russian military forces in Ukraine. (Lowercase z is the same letter.)
