Template:Latin script in Unicode

Latin Extended-G is a Unicode block containing additional characters, many of them for phonetic transcription. The Latin Extended-F and -G blocks contain the first Latin characters defined outside of the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP). They were created for Unicode version 14 in 2021.

With the release of Unicode 18.0, support was added for the Initial Teaching Alphabet and the English Phonotypic Alphabet.

Because this is a recently created block, font support is poor. Fonts that support at least some of Latin Extended-G include Gentium, Andika, Symbola, Unifont, Charis SIL, Catrinity, Noto Sans, Noto Serif, Iosevka, and AncientSans.
