G with oblique stroke

Not to be confused with the letter Ǥ / ǥ (G with stroke), which uses a flat bar.
Latin letter Ꞡ

Ꞡ (lowercase ꞡ) is a letter derived from the Latin alphabet letter G, combined with an oblique bar diacritic. It was used in Latvian orthography before 1921. Karl Faulmann reported in 1880 that the character was used to indicate a "g lind" (i.e., a soft g, the voiced post-alveolar affricate [d͡ʒ]), as opposed to the "hard g" that was denoted by a regular g character.
