Doulos SIL glyphs for Majuscule and minuscule g̃.

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

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

Computer encoding

[edit]

Unicode encodes g with tilde with a combining diacritical mark (U+0303 ◌̃ COMBINING TILDE), 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]
