It's called a voiced post-alveolar fricative /zh/. It's more common in French than in English. Like the second g in garage or the z in azure for some, but not all speakers. Best is a /zh/ like Faldo. Or use SAMPA /Z/ or Unicode (IPA) /ʒ/. Some use a z with a haček or caron /ž/. I see that many of the Unicode symbols no longer work with the new forum software.
