modifier letter small g with hook

Small G with Hook Modifier

𐞓 is the superscript IPA modifier based on ɠ, the hooktop G for a voiced velar implosive—a consonant made at the soft palate, at the back of the mouth, with voice and inward airflow. It marks that quality beside another sound, not ordinary g.

What 𐞓 means

It adds an implosive shade to a nearby sound. Full-size ɠ names the consonant; raised 𐞓 is a modifier for incomplete articulation or implosive release.

The IPA’s 1949 notation principles described small-index letters; a 1979 chart showed one marking a sound variant. In 2020, the IPA sought separately encoded modifier characters because font styling can hide phonetic distinctions. A 1978 Niamey project promoted one letter per speech sound; a rejected 1982 African Reference Alphabet draft included ɠ.

Treat 𐞓 as IPA notation, not ordinary prose.

A font-styled ɠ is not the encoded 𐞓.

Why does 𐞓 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.
