Unicode Version 17.0
ݒ
U+0752 "ݒ" Arabic Letter Beh with Three Dots Pointing Upwards Below is a specialized variant in the Arabic script, forming part of the Arabic Supplement block. It represents a modified version of the standard Arabic letter Beh (ب), distinguished by three dots arranged in an upward-pointing triangle beneath the letter's base. This character is used in specific languages that require additional phonetic distinctions beyond the basic Arabic alphabet, such as in certain African languages like Wolof, where it denotes a voiced bilabial implosive sound, contrasting with the standard Beh that represents a plosive. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures support for accurate textual representation and digital communication in these linguistic contexts.
