U+1DA2 "ᶢ" Modifier Letter Small Script G Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+1DA2 "ᶢ" Modifier Letter Small Script G is a typographic symbol used in phonetic transcription, particularly within the International Phonetic Alphabet extended system, to denote a modified or reduced form of the voiced velar stop represented by the script g. It functions as a diacritic-like modifier that can be attached to other characters to indicate a secondary articulation, such as a labialized or weakened realization of the g sound. This character belongs to the Phonetic Extensions Supplement block and is rarely used in modern standard IPA, but it appears in some older or specialized linguistic descriptions to capture subtle phonetic variations. Its small, superscript form allows it to be placed above or near a base letter without altering the primary symbol's shape.
