ź and ż
What are their sounds respectively, or what languages are they used in? I'm planning to use them for a conlang. |

Both are used in Polish.
ź = ʑ
ż = ʐ
As far as I am aware, they sound similar: like "zh". I traveled north last summer with some Polish friends. They met up with another Polish family, so I heard quite a bit of it.

ċ is used in Maltese and Old English to represent [tʃ], it also used to be used in Irish Gaelic.
ć is [ʨ], it's used on polish and a bunch of other Slavic languages.
ĉ is also [tʃ] or [tʂ], and is used mostly in Esperanto. Some Slavic languages use it too, I think.
