The voiced dental click is a click consonant found primarily among the languages of southern Africa.[1] The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet for a voiced dental click with a velar rear articulation is ɡ͡ǀ or ɡ͜ǀ, commonly abbreviated to ɡǀ, ᶢǀ or ǀ̬; a symbol abandoned by the IPA but still preferred by some linguists is ɡ͡ʇ or ɡ͜ʇ, abbreviated ɡʇ, ᶢʇ or ʇ̬. For a click with a uvular rear articulation, the equivalents are ɢ͡ǀ, ɢ͜ǀ, ɢǀ, 𐞒ǀ and ɢ͡ʇ, ɢ͜ʇ, ɢʇ, 𐞒ʇ. Sometimes the accompanying letter comes after the click letter, e.g. ǀɡ or ǀᶢ; this may be a simple orthographic choice, or it may imply a difference in the relative timing of the releases.[2]

In languages which use the Bantu letters for clicks, this is most commonly written ⟨gc⟩, but it is written ⟨dc⟩ in those languages that use ⟨g⟩ for the uvular fricative.
