Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+130D "ግ" Ethiopic Syllable Ge is a symbol from the Geʽez script, historically used for classical Ethiopic and currently employed in modern languages like Amharic and Tigrinya to represent the consonant sound "g" combined with the inherent vowel "e" (as in "get"). This character is part of the Ethiopic block of Unicode, which encodes a syllabary system where each base consonant modifies its form to indicate a specific vowel. As a fundamental element of the script, "ግ" is essential for writing words in languages of the Horn of Africa, preserving both linguistic tradition and digital communication in those communities.
