Ꞡ
Ꞡ (lowercase ꞡ) is a letter derived from the Latin alphabet letter G, combined with an oblique bar diacritic. It was used in Latvian orthography The modern Latvian language, Latvian orthography is based on Latin script adapted to phonetic principles, following the Latvian phonology, pronunciation of the language. The standard alphabet consists of 33 letters – 22 unmodified Latin letters ... before 1921. Karl Faulmann reported in 1880 that the character was used to indicate a (i.e., a soft g, the voiced post-alveolar affricate ), as opposed to the "hard g" that was denoted by a regular ''g'' character.

G With Stroke
Ǥ (lowercase ǥ), referred to by Unicode as a G with stroke, is a letter used in alphabets for Skolt Sámi in Fennoscandia, Kiowa in North America, Kadiwéu in South America. The position of the stroke within the letter can vary, either due to the particular typeface being used, or due to a preference within the language's writing system (e.g., written Skolt Sami places the stroke lower than Kadiwéu does). In the Latin alphabet for Skolt Sámi, G with stroke denotes the voiced velar fricative . It is sometimes pronounced as a voiced velar approximant instead. It appears word-medially and word-finally, and often appears as a double letter ''ǥǥ'' to indicate that the sound is phonemically geminate, as in ''čååǥǥam'' "comb" or ''šiõǥǥ'' "good". It is also used in some orthographies for the Kiowa language, where it represents a voiceless but unaspirated velar stop (similar to the ''k'' sounds in English ''skate''). In Kadiwéu, G with stroke is used to represen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
G With Oblique Stroke - Uppercase And Lowercase
G, or g, is the seventh letter of the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages, and others worldwide. Its name in English is ''gee'' (pronounced ), plural ''gees''. The lowercase version can be written in two forms: the single-storey (sometimes "opentail") and the double-storey (sometimes "looptail") . The former is commonly used in handwriting and fonts based on it, especially fonts intended to be read by children. History The evolution of the Latin alphabet's G can be traced back to the Latin alphabet's predecessor, the Greek alphabet. The voiced velar stop was represented by the third letter of the Greek alphabet, Gamma, gamma (Γ), which was later adopted by the Etruscan language. Latin then borrowed this "rounded form" of gamma, C, to represent the same sound in words such as ''recei'', which was likely an early dative form of ''Rex (title), rex'', meaning "king", as found in an "early Latin inscriptio ...

Bar (diacritic)
A bar or stroke is a modification consisting of a line drawn through a grapheme. It may be used as a diacritic to derive new letters from old ones, or simply as an addition to make a grapheme more distinct from others. It can take the form of a vertical bar, slash, or crossbar. A stroke is sometimes drawn through the numerals 7 (horizontal overbar) and 0 (overstruck foreslash), to make them more distinguishable from the number 1 and the letter O, respectively. (In some typefaces, one or other or both of these characters are designed in these styles; they are not produced by overstrike or by combining diacritic. The normal way in most of Europe to write the number seven is with a bar. ) In medieval English scribal abbreviations, a stroke or bar was used to indicate abbreviation. For example, , the pound sign, is a stylised form of the letter (the letter with a cross bar). For the specific usages of various letters with bars and strokes, see their individual articles. ...
