Unicode Version 17.0
ڻ
U+06BB "ڻ" Arabic Letter Rnoon is a distinct letter used primarily in the Sindhi language, where it represents a retroflex nasal sound, often transcribed as "Ṇ" or "ɳ". It is formed by adding three dots above the base of the Arabic letter noon (ن), and it is part of the extended Arabic script block, supporting the phonetic needs of languages beyond standard Arabic, such as Sindhi, Saraiki, and occasionally Urdu in loanwords. This character is essential for accurate representation and pronunciation in these languages, distinguishing words that would otherwise be ambiguous with the standard noon.
