U+A7AC "Ɡ" Latin Capital Letter Script G Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ɡ
U+A7AC "Ɡ" Latin Capital Letter Script G is a historical typographic variant of the letter G, designed with a distinctive cursive or calligraphic form that differs from the standard block capital G. It was added to the Unicode Standard primarily to support the transcription of African languages, as well as certain phonetic or scholarly orthographies where a script-style capital G is required for proper character distinction. This character is often used in linguistic texts and historical documents where the looped, open-tailed shape of the script G is preferred, ensuring faithful representation of original source material without relying on stylistic font substitutions.
