Definition

What Is the Uppercase G Latin Hook Entity?

Uppercase G Latin Hook (ʛ) is the Unicode character at U+029B (LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL G WITH HOOK) in IPA Extensions. It is a small capital G with a hook used in IPA phonetic notation — not the same as ordinary capital G or plain small capital ɢ.

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Uppercase G Latin Hook</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\029B";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x029B;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#667;</p>

</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+029B → ʛ in HTML. The browser turns it into the glyph.

2. Decimal: same code point as 667 → ʛ. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \029B in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.

4. Compare: ɢ (uvular stop), ʛ (uvular implosive), and ɠ (velar implosive) are three different IPA characters.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with this character.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+029B. Use numeric forms.

Look-alikes

Not small capital G alone

U+029B has a hook. U+0262 (ɢ) is the uvular stop without a hook. Do not swap them in IPA text.

IPA

Voiced uvular implosive

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

Latin-B

Not U+0193

U+0193 (Ɠ) is LATIN CAPITAL LETTER G WITH HOOK in Latin Extended-B. U+029B is the IPA small capital form.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\029B belongs in CSS. ʛ / ʛ belong in HTML.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write ʛ, not &#667.
