Ge with stroke (Ғ ғ, italics: Ғ ғ) is a Cyrillic letter which represents the letter Г with a horizontal stroke. It is used in the Bashkir, Kazakh Cyrillic and Uzbek Cyrillic alphabets where it represents a voiced uvular fricative /ʁ/. Despite having a similar shape, it is not related to the F of the Latin alphabet. In Kazakh, this letter may also represent the voiced velar fricative /ɣ/. In the Uzbek Latin alphabet, this letter corresponds to Gʻ.
The letter is also used in Bashkir,[1] Tajik, Karakalpak, Shor, Siberian Tatar and Nivkh languages, and formerly in Azerbaijani. It is similar to the letter Ğ found in Turkish and Latin Azerbaijani alphabets.
Unicode renders this letter as "ghe with stroke". It is possible that this may have been inspired by the Greek digamma.
