U+0756 "ݖ" Arabic Letter Beh with Small V Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ݖ
U+0756 "ݖ" Arabic Letter Beh with Small V is a supplementary Arabic letter used in certain African languages, such as in the Adamawa Fulfulde writing system, to represent a bilabial implosive or a voiced labiodental flap sound not found in standard Arabic. It is formed by placing a small v-shaped diacritic above the base letter Beh (ب), and it belongs to the Arabic Extended-A block, which was added to the Unicode standard to support a broader range of Arabic script orthographies beyond those of Classical Arabic. This character ensures that linguists and speakers of these languages can accurately encode their distinct phonetic sounds in digital text.
