U+0753 "ݓ" Arabic Letter Beh with Three Dots Pointing Upwards Below and Two Dots Above Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ݓ

U+0753 "ݓ" Arabic Letter Beh with Three Dots Pointing Upwards Below and Two Dots Above is a specialized glyph within the Arabic script block, used primarily in certain extended Arabic orthographies for languages such as African languages like Fulani or Hausa, where it represents a distinct consonant sound not covered by the standard Arabic letter Beh. This character combines the base Beh shape with three dots positioned below the letter pointing upward, along with two dots above, creating a unique diacritical arrangement to indicate a specific phonetic value, often a voiced bilabial implosive or a similar sound. It is part of the Unicode Standard's Arabic Supplement range, designed to support the full linguistic diversity of Arabic-derived writing systems.
