Ge with stroke and hook
Ge with stroke and hook (Uppercase: Ӻ, lowercase: ӻ) is a letter of a Cyrillic script. It was used in the Nivkh languages, this is in Siberia.
Ge with stroke and hook (Ӻ ӻ; italics: Ӻ ӻ) is an additional letter of the Cyrillic script used for the transcription of the Nivkh languages, where it transcribes the voiced uvular fricative /ʁ/, like the r in French.[1] It is composed of the letter ge with a horizontal bar across the middle and a descender or hook from the base. In Unicode it is called "Ghe with stroke and hook".[2] There are two common designs: the original form with a straight descender, and a variant with a hook designed by Просвещение (Enlightenment) publishing house. The character is in Nivk language
