ة
U+0629 "ة" Arabic Letter Teh Marbuta is a distinct letter in the Arabic alphabet that represents a feminine noun ending or a suffix, often pronounced as a "t" sound when the word is in a construct state or followed by a vowel, but as a silent "h" at the end of a word in isolation. It visually resembles a heh with two dots above it, and its name translates to "tied t" or "closed t," reflecting its dual function in grammar and pronunciation.
