Ge with stroke and descender (Ӻ ӻ; italics: Ӻ ӻ) is an additional letter of the Cyrillic script used for the transcription of the Nivkh languages, where it transcribes the voiced uvular fricative /ʁ/, like the r of French.[1] It is composed of the letter ge with a horizontal bar across the middle and a descender or hook from the base. In Unicode it is called "Ghe with stroke and hook".[2] There are two common designs: the original form with a straight descender, and a variant with a hook designed by Просвещение (Enlightenment) publishing house.
