U+067B "ٻ" Arabic Letter Beeh Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ٻ

U+067B "ٻ" Arabic Letter Beeh is a distinct letter used primarily in the Sindhi and other Indic-origin languages written in the Arabic script, such as Saraiki and Punjabi (in the Shahmukhi alphabet), where it represents a voiced bilabial implosive sound /ɓ/. This character is formed by adding three dots below the standard Arabic letter "ب" (beh), and it is not used in standard Arabic itself. In Unicode, it is classified under the Arabic script block and serves as a crucial element for accurately writing languages that include implosive consonants, distinguishing words that would otherwise be homographs with the plain "beh".
