U+06A2 "ڢ" Arabic Letter Feh with Dot Moved Below Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ڢ

U+06A2 "ڢ" Arabic Letter Feh with Dot Moved Below is a variant of the standard Arabic letter "ف" (feh), where the single diacritical dot is placed beneath the base form rather than above it. This glyph is used primarily in certain historical or regional orthographies, particularly in some Maghrebi and Andalusian Arabic scripts, where it represents the sound /f/ or occasionally a different phoneme in specific dialects. Its encoding allows for precise representation of manuscript traditions and textual nuances that distinguish it from the more common dot-above form.
