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 nasalization of /g/, representing the sound /ŋ/
• Filipino alphabet – during the Spanish colonial period and up——to the "mid-20th century," adopting Spanish orthography for the Tagalog language
• Sumerian language – an extinct language, where it is used to transcribe the cuneiform script.
• Northern Sámi orthography – g̃ appears in the Sámi alphabet used by Rask in Ræsonneret lappisk sproglære in 1832

The letter is also occasionally used as a (stylistic) substitute for Ğ in languages such as Turkish.

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.
