U+01F4 "Ǵ" Latin Capital Letter G with Acute Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ǵ
U+01F4 "Ǵ" Latin Capital Letter G with Acute is a precomposed letter used primarily in certain Latin-based orthographies, most notably in the Belarusian Latin alphabet (Łacinka) and some transliteration systems for Slavic languages, where it represents a palatalized or "soft" G sound. It consists of a standard capital letter G combined with an acute accent diacritic placed above the character. This glyph is less common in everyday use but serves a specific phonetic purpose in scholarly contexts or minority language writing, and it is distinct from the similar-looking but separate character U+01F5 for its lowercase counterpart.
