Ǥ

Ǥ

The g-stroke character unicode|Ǥ / ǥ is a letter of the Latin Skolt Sami alphabet, denoting the partially voiced palatal spirant (i.e., a weakly voiced velar fricative). It appears contrastively with respect to unicode|G, Ǧ, K, Ǩ, C, and Č, and typically appears phonemically geminate, e.g., "unicode|viiǥǥam" IPA| [ʋiːɣːam] "I bring". The letter is also used to write Proto-Germanic and has been used to write Northern Sami (in an old orthography).

In Unicode, unicode|Ǥ, ǥ are encoded at U+01E4, U+01E5 respectively.
