I finally decided on <ǧ>. <ɉ> isn't the best solution but I needed something and a J-form works better for what I'm trying ot achieve than a G-form. Something about G forms that just don't feel right for me, especially E-o's <ĝ>. I think I would have preferred <ǰ> but it seems to have ever poorer coverage than <ɉ> so that's what I used. Also, someone mentioned vowels before, but I don't want any vowels with diacritics because proper names can be written with an acute to show where the stress falls.
