G, or g, is the seventh letter of the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages, and others worldwide. Its name in English is gee (pronounced /ˈdʒiː/), plural gees.[1]
The lowercase version can be written in two forms: the single-storey (sometimes "opentail") 
and the double-storey (sometimes "looptail") 
. The former is commonly used in handwriting and fonts based on it, especially fonts intended to be read by children.
