U+1ACC "ᫌ" Combining Latin Small Letter Insular G Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᫌ
U+1ACC "ᫌ" Combining Latin Small Letter Insular G is a diacritical mark designed to be placed over or combined with a base Latin letter, modifying its pronunciation or phonetic value in scholarly or linguistic contexts. This character represents a small, insular form of the letter g, historically used in medieval manuscripts and revived for modern transcriptions of Old English, Old Norse, and other early Germanic languages to indicate a specific velar or palatal sound. It functions as a combining character, meaning it does not stand alone but attaches to a preceding base character, and is part of the Unicode standard’s effort to support accurate representation of historical scripts and specialized linguistic notation.
