Unicode Version 17.0
پ
U+067E "پ" Arabic Letter Peh is an extended Arabic letter representing the sound /p/, which is not present in standard Classical Arabic but is crucial for writing Persian, Urdu, Pashto, and several other languages influenced by the Arabic script. It is visually distinguished from the letter "ب" (beh) by having three dots beneath its base instead of one. This character is encoded in the Arabic block of the Unicode Standard and is widely used in digital text for languages like Dari, Uyghur, and Kashmiri, often serving as a key component in loanwords and native vocabulary where the voiceless bilabial plosive occurs.
