Unicode Version 17.0

ؽ

U+063D "ؽ" Arabic Letter Farsi Yeh with Inverted V is a specialized variant of the Arabic letter yeh (ی) used primarily in certain historical or orthographic contexts within the Persian (Farsi) script, where it features an inverted V-shaped diacritic mark above the base letter. This character is part of the Arabic block in Unicode and serves as a distinct glyph for representing a specific phonetic or stylistic variation, often encountered in older manuscripts or specific typographic traditions where the inverted V indicates a particular pronunciation or scribal convention. Although it is not commonly used in modern standard Persian, it remains an important character for accurate text representation and digital preservation of archaic or dialectal forms.
