'''Ge''' or '''G''' (Ґ&nbsp;ґ; italics: <span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: larger">''Ґ''&nbsp;''ґ''</span>) is a letter of the [[Cyrillic script]]. It is part of the [[Ukrainian alphabet]], the [[Pannonian Rusyn language#Grammar and alphabet|Pannonian Rusyn alphabet]] and both the [[Rusyn language#Alphabet|Carpathian Rusyn alphabets]], and also some variants of the [[Urum language|Urum]] and [[Belarusian language|Belarusian]] (i.e. [[Taraškievica|Belarusian Classical Orthography]]) alphabets. In these languages it is usually called ''ge'', while the letter it follows, ⟨[[Ge (Cyrillic)|Г&nbsp;г]]⟩, is called ''he''.

The [[letterform]] of this letter is based on the letterform of the letter ⟨[[Ge (Cyrillic)|Г&nbsp;г]]⟩, but its handwritten and italic lowercase forms do not follow the italic modification of ⟨г⟩: <span style="font-family: times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: larger">''г''</span>.

It represents the [[voiced velar plosive]] {{IPA|/ɡ/}}, like the pronunciation of ⟨g⟩ in "go".

The letter ⟨ґ⟩ is usually romanized using the Latin letter ''g'', or sometimes ''ġ'' with a dot or ''g̀'' with a grave accent.

In the [[Unicode]] system for text encoding, the characters representing this letter are called {{Sc|Cyrillic capital letter ghe with upturn}} (code point {{U+|0490}}) and {{Sc|Cyrillic small letter ghe with upturn}} ({{U+|0491}}), while the unmodified characters representing the letter ⟨г⟩ are called {{Sc|Cyrillic capital}} and {{Sc|small letter ghe}} ({{U+|0413}} and {{U+|0433}}).<ref name=":0">{{cite web |year=2010 |title=Cyrillic: Range: 0400–04FF |url=http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0400.pdf |access-date=2011-10-13 |work=The Unicode Standard, Version 6.0 |publisher=Unicode Inc |page=42}}</ref>
