U+0492 "Ғ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Ghe with Stroke Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ғ
U+0492 "Ғ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Ghe with Stroke is a modified version of the standard Cyrillic letter Ge (Г), distinguished by a horizontal stroke through its upper stem. This letter is used in several non-Slavic languages that employ the Cyrillic script, most notably in Turkic languages such as Kazakh, Bashkir, and Uzbek, where it represents a voiced velar fricative sound (similar to the 'g' in the English word "good" but produced further back in the throat). Historically, it was also employed in Azerbaijani and other languages undergoing Cyrillic-based orthographic reforms. The stroke visually differentiates it from the plain Ge and typically indicates a unique phonetic value in these writing systems.
