And if "ᵹ" is readmitted specifically in its affricate capacity, i.e. for "g" in "gem" etc

There is no ambiguity in the pronunciation of "GIF". The "g" is pronounced just like the the "g" in "garage".

I'm more interested in the pronunciation of "jpeg"... you're all saying jay-pezh properly, aren't you?
