U+0123 "ģ" Latin Small Letter G with Cedilla is a specialized letter used primarily in the Latvian alphabet, where it represents a palatalized "g" sound, typically transcribed as /ɟ/ or /gʲ/. It is formed by adding a cedilla diacritic (a small hook) beneath the standard Latin letter "g", distinguishing it in writing from its plain counterpart. This character appears in lowercase and has a corresponding uppercase form, "Ģ" (U+0122), and it is commonly employed in proper nouns and linguistic contexts when writing the Latvian language. Although it is relatively rare in global typography, it holds specific importance for correct Latvian orthography and can be encountered in digital text when using Unicode compliant fonts.
