U+0699 "ڙ" Arabic Letter Reh with Four Dots Above Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+0699 "ڙ" Arabic Letter Reh with Four Dots Above is a variant of the Arabic letter "reh" (ر) primarily used in the Sindhi language and occasionally in other South Asian scripts like Kashmiri or Saraiki to represent a voiced retroflex flap or a similar retroflex sound distinct from the standard alveolar "ra." Its defining feature is the placement of four small dots in a two by two square pattern directly above the letter's bowl, which sets it apart from other Arabic "reh" diacritic forms such as the three dot variants. In Unicode terms, it belongs to the Arabic block and is encoded for digital text representation, enabling accurate rendering and input in modern computing systems for languages that require this specific orthographic distinction.
