G̃ Explained

G̃ / g̃ is a letter which combines the common letter G with a tilde.

The letter does not exist in many alphabets. Examples of alphabets with this letter are:

• Guarani alphabet – where the tilde marks nasalization of pronounced as //g//, representing the sound pronounced as //ŋ//
• Filipino alphabet – during the Spanish colonial period and up to the mid-20th century, adopting Spanish orthography for the Tagalog language
• Sumerian language – an extinct language, where it is used to transcribe the cuneiform script.
• Northern Sámi orthography – g̃ appears in the Sámi alphabet used by Rask in Ræsonneret lappisk sproglære in 1832

The letter is also occasionally used as a (stylistic) substitute for G with breve in languages such as Turkish.

Computer encoding

Unicode encodes g with tilde with a combining diacritical mark, rather than a precomposed character. As such, the tilde may not align properly with some typefaces and systems. Additionally, owing to the difficulties in inputting this character, Guarani speakers often omit the diacritic altogether.^[1]
