The letter does not exist in many alphabets. Examples of alphabets with this letter are:
- Guarani alphabet – where the tilde marks nasalization of /g/, representing the sound /ŋ/
- Filipino alphabet – during the Spanish colonial period and up to the mid-20th century, adopting Spanish orthography for the Tagalog language
- Sumerian language – an extinct language, where it is used to transcribe the cuneiform script.
- Northern Sámi orthography – g̃ appears in the Sámi alphabet used by Rask in Ræsonneret lappisk sproglære in 1832
The letter is also occasionally used as a (stylistic) substitute for Ğ in languages such as Turkish.
