My child asked me this question and I didn't know how to answer. I didn't even know that's how it was pronounced!

It's probably the closest that can be expressed in kana of the British pronunciation [zed].
[zi:] is the American pronunciation.

All English speakers pronounce Z as zed. Only American pronounce it as zed.
Zeds and Tees get a -o addition to the end of an English-roman pronounced word when spoken as Japanese.
