Ꞡ (lowercase ꞡ) is a letter derived from the Latin alphabet letter G, combined with an oblique bar diacritic. It was used in Latvian orthography before 1921.{{cite web |title=Unicode Charts: Latin Extended-D |url=https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/UA720.pdf |publisher=Unicode Consortium |access-date=25 May 2025}} Karl Faulmann reported in 1880 that the character was used to indicate a {{lang|de|"g lind"}} (i.e., a soft g, the voiced post-alveolar affricate {{IPA blink|d͡ʒ}}), as opposed to the "hard g" that was denoted by a regular g character.{{cite book |last1=Faulmann |first1=Karl |title=Das Buch der Schrift |date=1880 |publisher=K.K.
