What Is the Uppercase G Latin Entity?

Uppercase G Latin (ɢ) is the Unicode character at U+0262 (LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL G) in IPA Extensions. It is a small capital G used in IPA phonetic notation — not the same as ordinary capital G.

Remember

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+0262 → &#x0262; in HTML. The browser turns it into the glyph.

2. Decimal: same code point as 610 → &#610;. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \0262 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.

4. Compare: G ɢ g shows how the small capital sits between full capital and lowercase.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with this character.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+0262. Use numeric forms.

Look-alikes

Not plain G

U+0262 is a small capital for IPA. Do not replace it with U+0047 when phonetic accuracy matters.

IPA

Voiced uvular stop

In IPA, ɢ denotes the voiced uvular stop. Prefer fonts with IPA Extensions coverage (for example Doulos SIL or Charis SIL).

Hook

Not G with hook

U+0193 (Ɠ) is LATIN CAPITAL LETTER G WITH HOOK. U+0262 is the small capital without a hook.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\0262 belongs in CSS. &#x0262; / &#610; belong in HTML.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &#610;, not &#610.

Compatibility

Browser Support

Uppercase G Latin / LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL G (U+0262) and its numeric entity forms (&#x0262;, &#610;, CSS \\0262) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Glyph shape depends on IPA Extensions font coverage.
