ꬶ was used in Teuthonista for the purposes of German dialectology, prior to the development of the International Phonetic Alphabet.[2][3]
Usage
In 1893, Otto Bremer used a cross-tailed g to represent a palatalizated voiced velar plosive [gʲ] in his phonetic transcription, but he replaced it with g with inverted breve ⟨g̑⟩. It has also been used in other transcriptions, like Arwid Johannson's Phonetics of the New High German language[4] or Edmund Crosby Quiggin's Donegal Irish dialect transcription, in which it represents the voiced velar fricative [ɣ].
