Ge with middle hook

Ge with middle hook (Ҕ ҕ; italics: Ҕ ҕ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script used in the Yukaghir and Yakut languages to represent the voiced velar fricative /ɣ/.

In Unicode, this letter is called "Ghe with middle hook".

[1] The letter was invented in 1844 by Andreas Johan Sjögren for the Ossetian language from the contraction of Cyrillic Г and Gothic 𐌷 (hagl).

Ge with middle hook was also used in the Chuvash language, in Ivan Yakovlev's initial 47-letter alphabet.
