Ghe with upturn (Ґ ґ; italics: Ґ ґ ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. In Ukrainian, Urum and Rusyn, this letter is called "Ghe", and the letter ‹Г› is called "He". In Unicode this letter is called "Ghe with upturn".
The letterform of Ghe with upturn is based on the Cyrillic letter Ghe (Г г), but its handwritten and italic lowercase forms do not follow the italic modification of Ge (г).
It represents the voiced velar plosive /ɡ/, like the pronunciation of ‹g› in "go".
Ghe with upturn is romanized using the Latin letter G (but with an additional grave accent in ISO 9).
The common Slavic voiced velar plosive [ɡ] is represented in most Cyrillic orthographies by the letter ‹Г›, called ге ghe in most languages. In Ukrainian, however, sometime around the early thirteenth century, this sound lenited to the voiced velar fricative [ɣ] (except in the cluster *zg), and around the sixteenth century debuccalized to the voiced glottal fricative [ɦ] (like the pronunciation of ‹h› in "behind"). The phoneme continued to be represented by ‹Г›, called ге he in Ukrainian.
