G̃ / g̃ is a letter which combines the common letter G with a tilde.

The letter does not exist in many alphabets. Examples of alphabets with this letter are:

  • Guarani alphabet – where the tilde marks nasalisation
  • Filipino alphabet – only during the Spanish Colonial Period and up to the mid-20th century (See Filipino orthography#Adoption of the Latin script)
  • Sumerian language – an extinct language
  • Northern Sami orthography – g̃ appears in the Sami alphabet used by Rask in Ræsonneret lappisk sproglære in 1832

    • Computer encoding

    Unicode encodes g with tilde with a combining diacritical mark (U+0303 ◌̃ combining tilde), rather than a precomposed character. As such, the tilde may not align properly with some typefaces and systems. Additionally, owing to the difficulties in inputting this character, Guarani speakers often replace it with g with circumflex (ĝ) or omit the diacritic altogether.
