Bopomofo Final Letter G

28/32

Use a Taiwanese Bopomofo/TPS layout to type ㆻ; a standard Mandarin Zhuyin layout may not include this extended coda. In Taiwanese Hokkien and Hakka phonetic notation, it marks a syllable-final /k/ after a vowel. Taiwan's 1998 dialect-symbol system records the small ㄍ form; Unicode added the corrected character in 2020 after an older entry used the wrong small form.

Text symbol

What ㆻ means

Use a Taiwanese Bopomofo/TPS layout.

Standard Mandarin Zhuyin keyboards cover the core set. Taiwanese dialect layouts add extended symbols on extra or shifted keys, so this coda may not be available on a standard layout.

For the small ㄍ final, choose ㆻ over ㆶ: Unicode lists ㆻ as preferred.

What sound does ㆻ mark?

It closes a syllable with final /k/.

Place it after the vowel or rime—the vowel part of a syllable—in Taiwanese Hokkien or Hakka phonetic notation. This coda mark records dialect pronunciation.

A related extension for Minnan and Hakka was designed in 1948 so dialect sounds could be written as ordinary text. Its other final marks include ㆴ for /p/, ㆵ for /t/, and ㆷ for /h/.

A specialist phonetic mark used in dialect pronunciation notation.

For the small ㄍ coda, use ㆻ rather than ㆶ.

Why does ㆻ show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
