U+06A6 "ڦ" Arabic Letter Peheh Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ڦ

U+06A6 "ڦ" Arabic Letter Peheh is a character used in the Arabic script, primarily representing the sound "p" in languages such as Sindhi, Kashmiri, and other regional languages of South Asia and the Middle East, where the standard Arabic alphabet lacks a dedicated letter for this phoneme. Visually, it resembles the Arabic letter "ف" (feh) but with three dots arranged in a triangle or a horizontal line below the main body, and it follows the same contextual shaping rules as other Arabic letters, joining to preceding and following characters in connected text. This character is part of the Arabic Extended-A block and is encoded for digital representation to support accurate transcription of these languages in Unicode systems.
