چ
U+0686 "چ" Arabic Letter Tcheh is an Arabic script glyph used primarily in Persian, Urdu, Pashto, and other languages to represent the voiceless palato-alveolar affricate sound /tʃ/, akin to the English "ch" in "church". It is a modified form of the Arabic letter ج (jeem), distinguished by the addition of three dots below the character's base, and forms part of the extended Arabic alphabet to accommodate non-Arabic phonetic needs.
