It might. "жэ", if used purposefully as a non-standard spelling, would cause me, for example, to pronounce the vowel lower, further to the back and more tense. Such spelling was used in "The Golden Calf" by Ilf and Petrov, where a typewriter lacking the symbol e was typing "with a Caucasian accent". Vladimir
