U+04FB "ӻ" Cyrillic Small Letter Ghe with Stroke and Hook Unicode Character

U+04FB "ӻ" Cyrillic Small Letter Ghe with Stroke and Hook is a specialized variant of the Cyrillic letter Ghe, designed for use in the Udege language, a minority language spoken in the Russian Far East. This letter represents a specific voiced velar or uvular fricative sound, distinct from the standard Cyrillic Г (ghe), and its form is created by adding a horizontal stroke and a hook to the base character to indicate this phonetic distinction. It is primarily used in linguistic and orthographic contexts for the correct written representation of Udege, and it belongs to the Cyrillic Extended-B block within the Unicode Standard, which supports a range of historical and minority language characters.
