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

⟨Ҕ⟩ is the fifth letter of the Yakut alphabet, placed between ⟨Г⟩ and ⟨Д⟩. It was formerly also the seventh letter of the Abkhaz alphabet, placed between the digraphs ⟨Гә⟩ and ⟨Ҕь⟩; it was replaced by the letter ⟨Ӷ⟩.

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