U+06A5 "ڥ" Arabic Letter Feh with Three Dots Below Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+06A5 "ڥ" Arabic Letter Feh with Three Dots Below is a modified letter used in specific Arabic-based orthographies, primarily for representing a voiceless labiodental fricative sound, like the English "f" in "fish," but with a distinct phonetic nuance in languages such as Berber or certain African Ajami scripts where it may denote a slightly different articulation or a borrowed sound not found in standard Arabic. Its typographic form adapts the base Arabic letter feh, which originally represents a "f" sound, by adding three dots underneath the letter, visually distinguishing it from other feh variants and aligning with other dotted letter conventions in the Arabic script. This character is encoded in the Unicode Standard to ensure proper digital representation and text processing for languages that require this specific letter, primarily found in regions like North Africa or West Africa where modified Arabic letters are used for local language writing systems.
