How to Type ģ (G with cedilla) on HTML

Published June 11, 2026, 2 min read

Need ģ on HTML for a name, an address or a word in another language? You do not have to copy it from a website every time. The fastest method is ģ, and there are a few backups below for when that one is not available.

ģ on HTML: ģ

Ģ on HTML: Ģ

Or copy it:

Method 1: Codes for web pages

Format	Code for ģ
Decimal entity	`ģ`
Hex entity	`ģ`
CSS content	`content: "\0123";`
JavaScript	`"\u0123"`
URL encoded	`%C4%A3`
UTF-8 bytes	`C4 A3`

Method 2: Type it directly with UTF-8

If your page starts with <meta charset="utf-8"> and the file is saved as UTF-8, you can paste ģ straight into the HTML. Entities are only needed when your editor or database cannot store the character.

Method 3: Watch for normalization

ģ can also be written as g plus a combining mark. Both look the same but compare as different strings. In JavaScript, call str.normalize("NFC") before comparing or searching.

About the letter ģ

ģ is Unicode U+0123, named LATIN SMALL LETTER G WITH CEDILLA. It is used in Latvian. A small hook under a letter. ç gives a soft s sound in French, Portuguese, Catalan, Turkish and Albanian; Turkish also uses ş, and Latvian uses ģ, ķ, ļ, ņ. See the ģ character page for every code and shortcut.

Troubleshooting

If you see Ã and other symbols, the file is UTF-8 but the browser reads it as Windows-1252. Add the meta charset tag.
Named entities are case sensitive: É and é are different letters.
In XML and XHTML only five named entities exist, so use numeric codes there.
