The Ђ and Ћ Characters

IPA (voiceless /θ/
& voiced /ð/)

The /Ђ/ and /Ћ/ characters are new. The lower-case versions are /ѣ/ and /ћ/. These characters are used to replace the two character combo /th/ (aka 'digraph') used in current English. The /t/ and /b/ or the /t/ and /h/ are combined into a single letter. These consonant sounds are known as the voiceless and voiced dental fricatives.
The voiceless version combines 'T' & 'b'.
The voiced version combines 'T' & 'h'.

The voiceless /Ђ/ sound can be found in words like:
math
tooth
growth
oath
teeth

The voiced /Ћ/ sound can be heard in words like:
smooth
seethe
the
there
teething

Remember 'tooth' vs 'smooth'. You hum through the /th/ sound in 'smooth'.
