Ghe with upturn (Ґ ґ; italics: Ґ ґ), also known as G, is a letter of the Cyrillic script. It is part of the Ukrainian alphabet, the Pannonian Rusyn alphabet and both the Carpathian Rusyn alphabets, and also some variants of the Urum and Belarusian (i.e. Belarusian Classical Orthography) alphabets. In these languages it is usually called ge, while the letter it follows, ⟨Г г⟩ is called he (but is ge in many other languages). In the Unicode system for text encoding, this letter is called ghe with upturn.The letterform of this letter is based on the letterform of the letter ⟨Г г⟩, but its handwritten and italic lowercase forms do not follow the italic modification of ⟨г⟩: г.
It represents the voiced velar plosive /ɡ/, like the pronunciation of ⟨g⟩ in "go".
Ghe with upturn is usually romanized using the Latin letter g, or sometimes ġ with a dot or g̀ with a grave accent.
