- In French handwriting, the lettre z is often written with a descender that loops below the line, looking more like a cursive '3' than the printed version.
- French speakers sometimes use the term zéro as a slang way to describe a person who is useless or a failure, playing on the lettre z starting the word for 'nothing'.
- In French, the name of the letter 'z' is pronounced zède, which adds an extra syllable compared to the English pronunciation. This makes it sound more like a full word than a single letter.
