G with accent ĝ ğ ġ ģ — copy & ALT codes
G softens under a cedilla in Latvian (ģ), breathes under a circumflex in Esperanto (ĝ), and gains a caron in Romani (ǧ). Turkish replaces the sound entirely with ğ — the “soft g” that lengthens the vowel before it. This page collects every accented g recognized by the Unicode Standard — 20 characters in total (9 lowercase, 11 capital and digraph forms)
Each character can be copied with a single click, typed with its ALT code, or produced with the keyboard shortcuts proven below — no memorisation required if you bookmark this page.

How to type accented g on the keyboard
Two dependable methods, demonstrated with ĝ (g with circumflex) — both tested on Windows 11 and Microsoft 365.
Method 1 — Numeric keypad ALT code
WindowsType ĝ into any Windows program using its ALT code, Alt + 285. You need a working numeric keypad with Num Lock on.
- 1Click exactly where you want the accented g letter to appear — in Word, an email, a browser field, anywhere.
- 2Make sure Num Lock is on. On laptops without a separate keypad, enable the embedded keypad first with Fn + Num Lock.
- 3Press and hold the Alt key.
- 4While keeping Alt held, type 285 on the numeric keypad.
- 5Release Alt — ĝ appears where your cursor is parked.
If a code produces the wrong symbol: very long ALT codes (four digits and beyond) can render as a placeholder glyph in older apps. Repeat the same steps inside a Microsoft Word document — Word resolves the full Unicode range correctly, and you can copy the result anywhere else.
Method 2 — Unicode value + Alt X
Word & OfficeEvery character owns a hexadecimal ID — for ĝ it is U+011D. Microsoft Word converts that ID into the character itself.
- 1Open a Word document (or any Office app that supports Unicode).
- 2Type the four-character code 011D using your regular keyboard.
- 3Without pressing space, hit Alt + X together.
- 4Word swaps the code for the letter — 011D becomes ĝinstantly.
This trick works both ways: place your cursor after any accented character and press Alt + X to reveal its Unicode value. It is the fastest way to identify a mystery character you have received in a document.

Accented G — questions people ask
The Windows ALT code for ĝ (Latin Small Letter G with Circumflex) is Alt + 285. Hold Alt, type 2, 8, 5 on the numeric keypad and release Alt. Inside Word you can type 011D followed by Alt + X instead — or simply click the character on this page to copy it.
On Windows use Alt + 284 with the numeric keypad; in Microsoft Word type 011C then press Alt + X. On a Mac, press the matching Option-key accent, release, then type Shift + G. Copy-and-paste from the grid above works in every program.
Hold the Option key together with the accent key, release, then press g. Option + E applies an acute accent, Option + ` a grave, Option + I a circumflex, Option + N a tilde and Option + U an umlaut. Alternatively press and hold the g key and a pop-up menu lists every variation.
Characters beyond the first 256 code points need full Unicode support. When a long ALT code shows a placeholder symbol, redo the steps inside Word — it resolves the complete range — or copy the letter directly from this page, which works in every modern application.
