Ǧ/ǧ (G with caron, Unicode code points U+01E6 and U+01E7) is a letter used in several Latin orthographies.
In Azerbaijani Turkic (Iranian Turks), ǧ represents /ɣ/, the voiced velar fricative.
In the Romany and Skolt Sami languages, it represents the palatalized g [ɟ͡ʝ].
It has also been used in Czech (and Slovak) orthographies until the middle of the 19th century to represent the consonant /ɡ/, whereas "g" stood for /j/.
In a romanization of Pashto, ǧ is used to represent [ɣ] (equivalent to غ).
In the Berber Latin alphabet, ǧ is pronounced [d͡ʒ] as an English J, like in Jimmy.
In Lakota, ǧ represents voiced uvular fricative /ʁ/.
In DIN 31635 Arabic transliteration it represents the letter ﺝ (ǧīm).
