The [ʒ] sound is one of the least common consonants in English. English spelling has no specific way to spell this sound, but some uses of s, z, and g really represent a [ʒ].
The symbol [ʒ] is usually called "ezh" [ɛʒ] (but also sometimes "yogh"). It was often used in Old Irish and Old English manuscripts.
