How to type Ğ ğ — G with breve

Type it on our keyboard

Open the field already filled with ğ — type or click more, then copy. No install, works offline:

Codes

Reference	ğ	Ğ
Unicode	U+011F	U+011E
HTML entity	`ğ`	`Ğ`
CSS escape	`\011F`	`\011E`
macOS — Unicode Hex Input	`⌥` 011F	`⌥` 011E
Windows — Word	011F `Alt + X`	011E `Alt + X`

macOS hex input needs the “Unicode Hex Input” source enabled (System Settings → Keyboard). The Windows Alt + X trick works in Word and Outlook; elsewhere use the panel below.

On a Mac

Press and hold the g key — an accent menu pops up; pick ğ.
Character Viewer: ⌃⌘Space, search “g with breve”, double-click it.

On Windows

Emoji & symbols: Win + ., switch to symbols, find ğ.
Character Map (search it in the Start menu) → find ğ → Copy.

With PolyType installed

If you run the PolyType app or browser extension, type the base letter then the diacritic — no layout switch (the directive accents the letter immediately before it):

g;breve␣

The instant cycle ;;g also works (repeat to cycle variants). This inline syntax needs PolyType running; without it, use a method above.
