Gravity Symbol g

Gravity Symbol assigns g to physics notation. For Gravity Symbol, formulas, codes, styled letters, and fields that give g another role remain separate. For Gravity Symbol, g is encoded as U+0067, and its Unicode name is LATIN SMALL LETTER G. Gravity Symbol commonly uses lowercase g in elementary physics equations. On this page, g is treated as a variable for gravitational acceleration within a defined formula or laboratory context, not as a universal stand-alone icon for gravity. A worksheet may write “g = 9.81 m/s²” when the local approximation and units have been stated. Other examples include a falling-body equation or a laboratory table whose heading defines g. The letter must be interpreted from the equation; the same lowercase character is used for gram and for unrelated variables elsewhere. Use italic mathematical styling when the document’s convention calls for variables, and keep the value and units beside the symbol. Do not substitute capital G, which is often assigned to the gravitational constant, and do not omit the definition when several quantities use similar letters. Because g is ordinary U+0067 LATIN SMALL LETTER G, copying preserves only the character, not its physical meaning. Accessible text should state “acceleration due to gravity” or the exact quantity represented in the calculation. HTML can contain literal g without a special entity. This page documents the physics-variable convention and its formatting boundary; it does not claim that the letter g always means gravity. Recopy the sample “Copy form: g,” confirm the final text still contains U+0067, and check that the visible heading names Gravity. This final check protects Gravity Symbol from font substitution, accidental character loss, and intent drift. g commonly represents gravitational acceleration near a planetary surface, while G represents the gravitational constant. The two letters are not interchangeable, and units plus equation context are essential.
