Unicode Version 17.0

ف

U+0641 "ف" Arabic Letter Feh is the twenty-eighth letter of the Arabic alphabet, representing the voiceless labiodental fricative sound /f/. In the Arabic abjad system, it holds a numerical value of 80 and appears in four contextual forms depending on its position within a word: isolated, initial, medial, and final. As an integral part of the Arabic script, it is used not only in Arabic itself but also in languages such as Persian, Urdu, and Kurdish, where it may represent the same or a slightly adapted phonetic value. The character's design features a crescent‑shaped body with a single dot placed above it, a distinctive trait that helps differentiate it from other similar letters like the ق (Qaf).
