ɣ - Wiktionary, the free dictionary

A Latin adaptation of the Ancient Greek and Modern Greek letter γ (“gamma”). In Greek, γ in most contexts represents a voiced velar fricative, and has done so since Koine Greek, which is why it was chosen as the IPA letter to represent that sound (in Ancient times, in Attic Greek, γ represented [ɡ], like the English g).

ɣ

1. (IPA) a voiced velar fricative.

   (superscript ⟨ˠ⟩) velarized (that is, [ɣ]-coloring).

   (superscript ⟨ˠ⟩) [ɣ]-fricated release or a weak, fleeting or epenthetic [ɣ] – see ˠ.

2. (phonetics, obsolete) letter in Doke (1925) for a voiced dental click.

   (doubled ligature) letter in Doke (1925) for a voiced lateral click.

Sometimes confused with ⟨ɤ⟩, the unrounded back vowel letter (ram's horns), especially in its "baby gamma" form, but the vowel letter does not drop below the baseline, which the consonant ⟨ɣ⟩ does.
