Unicode Version 17.0
ǧ
U+01E7 "ǧ" Latin Small Letter G with Caron is a modified Latin letter used primarily in the transcription of certain Slavic languages, such as Czech, Slovak, and some South Slavic languages, where it represents a voiced postalveolar affricate sound similar to the "j" in "judge." It consists of a standard lowercase "g" with a caron diacritic placed above it, which distinguishes it from the unadorned "g" and indicates a specific palatalized or softened pronunciation. This character is part of the Latin Extended-A block and is commonly employed in linguistic notation as well as in the orthographies of minority languages to accurately represent distinct phonetic values.
