U+063B "ػ" Arabic Letter Keheh with Two Dots Above Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+063B "ػ" Arabic Letter Keheh with Two Dots Above is a rarely used Arabic script character that represents a variant of the Arabic letter keheh (which is itself a form of kaf) with two dots placed above it, historically employed in certain orthographies for the representation of sounds found in languages like Hausa, particularly for marking a palatal or fronted velar stop distinct from the standard kaf. This character is part of the Arabic Extended-A block and supports the transcription of specific phonetic distinctions in languages that extend the Arabic alphabet beyond its classical letter set. It should not be confused with more common dotted kaf forms, as its unique diacritical marking assigns it a precise role in specialized writing systems.
