𐞔

U+10794 "𐞔" Modifier Letter Small Capital G with Hook is a specialized typographic symbol used primarily in phonetic transcription, particularly within the context of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) extension or related linguistic notation. It represents a small capital G letterform modified by a hook, which typically indicates a velar or labiovelar consonant with a secondary articulation, such as a voiced velar implosive or a specific fricative. This character belongs to the Latin Extended-G block, added to Unicode to support a growing range of diacritic and modifier letters for precise representation of speech sounds. Its design combines the uppercase-style small capital shape with a hooked tail, distinguishing it from other G variants in phonetic alphabets.
