Ǧ/ǧ (G with caron, Unicode code points U+01E6 and U+01E7) is a letter used in several Latin orthographies.[1]
In the Romany and Skolt Sami languages, it represents the palatalized g [ɟ͡ʝ].
It has also been used in Czech (and Slovak) orthographies until the middle of the 19th century to represent the
consonant /ɡ/, whereas "g" stood for /j/.
In the romanization of Pashto, Persian, and South Azeri, ǧ is used to represent [ɣ] (equivalent to غ).
In the Berber Latin and Resian alphabets, ǧ is pronounced [d͡ʒ] as an English J, like in Jimmy.
In Lakota, ǧ represents voiced uvular fricative /ʁ/.
In DIN 31635 Arabic transliteration it represents the letter ﺝ (ǧīm).
