(Redirected from Ɣ)The letter '' (
minuscule: '') is a letter of the
Latin alphabet based on the
Greek letter
gamma (γ). Unlike the Greek gamma, the Latin gamma may have
serifs, and its
majuscule form is based on the minuscule. It is used to represent a
voiced velar fricative, both in the
International Phonetic Alphabet, and in the alphabets of
African languages such as
Ewe. In certain
nonstandard variations of the IPA the majuscule form is used.
Use on computers
The majuscule and the minuscule are located at U+0194 and U+0263 in
Unicode, respectively.
As of 2005, only a handful of
fonts support this letter.
