Unicode Version 17.0
⅁
U+2141 "⅁" Turned Sans-Serif Capital G is a typographical symbol classified under the Letterlike Symbols block, representing a rotated version of the standard sans-serif capital G. It was primarily designed for use in specialized notation, such as in mathematics or formal logic, where a 180-degree rotation of a letter indicates a specific relational or operational meaning, often functioning as a variant of the turned G used in the International Phonetic Alphabet. Its rareness in everyday text means it is typically encountered only in academic or niche digital typesetting contexts, and it may not be supported by all fonts or systems.
