U+067D "ٽ" Arabic Letter Teh with Three Dots Above Downwards Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ٽ

U+067D "ٽ" Arabic Letter Teh with Three Dots Above Downwards is a distinct letter used primarily in the Sindhi language, where it represents a retroflex or emphatic "t" sound, similar to the voiceless retroflex plosive [ʈ]. It is formed by taking the base Arabic letter "teh" (ت) and placing three dots in a downward-pointing triangular arrangement above it, distinguishing it from other dotted variants such as the two-dotted "teh" for the simple "t" sound. This character is an essential part of the extended Arabic script used for languages in South Asia, including Sindhi in Pakistan and India, and it occupies a specific place in the Sindhi alphabet between the letters "teh" and "theh." Its inclusion in Unicode ensures proper digital representation and text processing for these linguistic communities.
