U+068B "ڋ" Arabic Letter Dal with Dot Below and Small Tah Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+068B "ڋ" Arabic Letter Dal with Dot Below and Small Tah is a specialized Arabic script character used in certain regional orthographies, particularly for the Sindhi language, to represent a unique retroflex or emphatic dental sound distinct from the standard Arabic letter dal. It consists of the base Arabic letter dal (د) modified with a single dot placed below it and a small loop or form resembling a miniature tah (ط) above or attached, combining both diacritical marks to indicate a specific phonetic value that differs from other dal variants. This character is included in the Unicode standard under the Arabic block to facilitate digital representation and text processing for languages that require this precise consonant, enabling accurate writing and communication in scripts like Sindhi where such nuanced glyphs are essential.
