Shwe (Ꚗ ꚗ; italics: Ꚗ ꚗ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script.[1] It resembles the letter Sha (Ш ш; Ш ш) with a long tail attached to its bottom.

Shwe is used in an old orthography of the Abkhaz language, where it represents the labialized voiceless palato-alveolar sibilant /ʃʷ/. It corresponds to Шә.
