Ge with middle hook (Ҕ ҕ; italics: Ҕ ҕ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script used in the Abkhaz and Yakut languages to represent the voiced velar fricative /ɣ/. In Unicode, this letter is called "Ghe with middle hook".[1] The letter was invented in 1844 by Andreas Johan Sjögren for the Ossetian language from the contraction of Cyrillic Г and Gothic Gothic letter hagl.svg.[2]

Usage

⟨Ҕ⟩ is the fifth letter of the Yakut alphabet, placed between ⟨Г⟩ and ⟨Д⟩. It was formerly also the seventh letter of the Abkhaz alphabet, placed between the digraphs ⟨Гә⟩ and ⟨Ҕь⟩; it was replaced by the letter ⟨Ӷ⟩.
