ڿ
U+06BF "ڿ" Arabic Letter Tcheh with Dot Above is a variant of the Arabic letter Tcheh, which is used in several languages that employ the Arabic script, particularly in African languages such as Hausa and Sindhi, to represent a voiceless palatal affricate sound similar to the "ch" in "cheese". The distinguishing dot placed above the base letter helps differentiate it from other similar characters like the standard Tcheh or Tshe. This character is encoded in the Unicode Standard to support the accurate textual representation of these languages, ensuring proper digital communication and preservation of linguistic diversity.
