What emoticons can you make with the lower case Insular G

It's a medieval letter used mostly in the British Isles (and thus used mostly by monks, cause of illiteracy and Viking invaders (or should I say "VikinꝽ invaders"?))

But can it be used to make a new emoticon?


==================================================


- I'll start by offering this one: < Ᵹ>




< Ᵹ> - a scholarly penguin with a monocle

Arguably, this is too situation-specific.

like a hard g, but with your jaw drawn back instead of jutted out, and with your sinuses partly blocked.



like in the name "Ᵹus" or playing a game of "Riwᵹ"
