I'm certainly no "voice of authority", but perhaps you will accept as
such the _Handbook of the International Phonetic Association_, Cambridge
UP, 1999, p.163ff.
It states that the glyph represented in the standard IPA chart
("opentail g" in IPA terminology) is to be encoded as U+0261, but that
Ascii g ("looptail g") may be used as an equivalent.
As far as I can see, almost all professionally printed material that
uses IPA symbols (such as dictionaries etc) use the looptail g glyph,
i.e. U+0261.
