Ge with stroke and hook

Ge with stroke and hook or descender (Ӻ&nbsp;ӻ; italics: <span style="font-family: times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: larger">Ӻ&nbsp;ӻ</span>) is a letter of the Cyrillic script, formed from the Cyrillic letter Ge (Г&nbsp;г&nbsp;<span style="font-family: times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: larger">Г&nbsp;г</span>) by adding a horizontal stroke and a descender. In Unicode this letter is called "Ghe with stroke and hook". It is similar in shape to the Latin letter F with hook (Ƒ ƒ) but is unrelated.

The letter is only used for the Nivkh language, where it represents the voiced uvular fricative , like the r in French. There are two common designs: the original form with a straight descender (, ), and a variant with a hook designed by Просвещение (Enlightenment) publishing house.
