U+0680 "ڀ" Arabic Letter Beheh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ڀ
U+0680 "ڀ" Arabic Letter Beheh is a character used primarily in the Sindhi language, as well as in other languages such as Pashto and Saraiki, to represent a voiced bilabial aspirated plosive sound, similar to a combination of "b" and a strong "h" breath. Its glyph is an extension of the standard Arabic letter "ب" (beh) with an additional dot beneath it, distinguishing it from similar letters in the Arabic script. This character is part of the Arabic block in Unicode and is specifically coded for writing systems that require phonemes not found in classical Arabic, enabling accurate representation of local dialects and languages.
