U+06C6 "ۆ" Arabic Letter Oe Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ۆ
U+06C6 "ۆ" Arabic Letter Oe is a distinct glyph used in the Arabic script to represent a specific vowel sound, primarily in languages such as Uyghur, Kurdish, and some other Central Asian or Turkic languages that employ the Arabic alphabet. Unlike standard Arabic letters, this character denotes a rounded back vowel sound similar to the "o" or "œ" in English and French, functioning as a vowel letter rather than a consonant. It is encoded in the Unicode standard to support accurate digital representation and text processing for these languages, ensuring that the unique phonetic requirements of non-Arabic languages using the Arabic script are properly addressed.
