Ge with stroke and hook (Ӻ ӻ; italics: Ӻ ӻ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script, formed from the Cyrillic letter Ge (Г г Г г) by adding a horizontal stroke and a hook. In Unicode this letter is called "Ghe with stroke and hook".[1] It is similar in shape to the Latin letter F with hook (Ƒ ƒ) but is unrelated.
Ge with stroke and hook is only used in the Nivkh language, where it represents the voiced uvular fricative /ʁ/, like the r in French.[2]
It can be replaced by the ge with stroke and descender, which has not yet been encoded in Unicode.
