==Encodings== In Unicode, Gʻ is not encoded as a precomposed character, but rather as a sequence of or and . Since the modifier letter isn't readily typeable on the Uzbek Latin keyboard layouts shipped with Microsoft Windows as of 2022, the substitution of other characters such as and is very common. But the use of U+02BB is the only correct option, as the signs U+2018 and U+2019 fulfill the role of secondary quotation marks in the Uzbek Latin.
