Read the mark on G

Breve or caron?

Ğ and ğ have a breve, a shallow curved mark. Ǧ and ǧ have a caron with a pointed bottom. The difference can be subtle in small text, so compare the shape rather than just the position.

Dots and sloping accents

Ġ and ġ have a dot above. Ĝ and ĝ have a circumflex, while Ǵ and ǵ have an acute accent. Each has its own Unicode value, which you can find in the character reference below.

The unusual appearance of ģ

The character named G with cedilla often shows its mark above the lowercase letter as a small turned comma. The capital Ģ shows the mark below. A change in the mark’s position does not mean you have copied the wrong case pair.

Select a character above and wait for the copy confirmation. Paste into your text with Ctrl + V on Windows, Command + V on Mac, or your phone’s Paste command. For a whole name or sentence, use the online accent keyboard. You can also browse all accent letters from A to Z.

How to type g with an accent on Windows

Using a numeric keypad

Not every marked g has a standard Windows ALT shortcut. For ğ, copying is the most direct option here. In Word for Windows, you can also use the hexadecimal method described below.

No numeric keypad? Use the copy button or the Word method. If your laptop has an embedded keypad, check its own instructions for enabling it.

Type ğ with Alt + X in Word

In Word for Windows, 011F is the hexadecimal value for ğ. Alt + X converts that value into the letter, without requiring a numeric keypad.

  • Put your cursor at the insertion point in Word.
  • Type 011F, without the U+ prefix.
  • Highlight only the code, then press ALT + X.
  • Check that the code has become ğ.

See Microsoft’s character-code instructions for details about code entry. For other characters, browse the ALT code directory.

On a Mac, phone, or tablet

On a Mac, try holding a letter key in an app that supports the accent menu. If the form you need is missing, copy it here and paste with Command + V. On a phone or tablet, select a character and use your destination app’s Paste command. See Apple’s accent guide for Mac options.

G with an accent: common questions

Answers to help you choose the correct form and keep its marks intact.

Ğ or ğ is G with a breve. For a pointed v-shaped mark, choose Ǧ or ǧ instead.

Use Ġ for a capital or ġ for lowercase. The dot is part of the copied character.

That is a common font rendering of lowercase G with cedilla. Compare the character name and code if the shape is unfamiliar.
