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.[1]
