I don't know what language uses 'x' for /tS/, but Albanian uses it for /dz/.

Yep. The letter is known as "eth", and denotes the voiced 'th' in
English "they". CXS [D].

The voiceless counterpart (in "thin") is denoted by theta in the IPA, and [T]
in CXS. Icelandic uses the letter thorn, which looks kind of a combination
of 'b' and 'p' - a round thing with both left ascender and left descender.
