Unicode Version 17.0

ر

U+0631 "ر" Arabic Letter Reh is the thirteenth letter of the Arabic alphabet, representing the voiced alveolar trill or tap sound similar to the "r" in English "red." It is a non-connector letter in the Arabic script, meaning it only connects to the preceding letter on its right but not to the following letter on its left, resulting in distinct isolated and final forms. Used across languages that employ the Arabic script, such as Arabic, Persian, and Urdu, Reh is a fundamental component in a wide range of words and is often written with a distinctive downward curve.
