U+0758 "ݘ" Arabic Letter Hah with Three Dots Pointing Upwards Below Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ݘ

U+0758 "ݘ" Arabic Letter Hah with Three Dots Pointing Upwards Below is a character in the Arabic script used primarily for representing specific sounds in languages such as Sindhi and potentially other regional languages of South Asia and West Africa. It is a variant form of the Arabic letter Ḥāʼ, modified with three upward-pointing dots placed underneath the letter’s base, distinguishing its phonetic value from the standard /ħ/ or /h/ sounds. This character falls within the Arabic Supplement block of Unicode, which was introduced to cover additional letters needed for extended Arabic-based orthographies beyond the basic set. While not commonly found in mainstream Arabic, it plays a crucial role in accurate digital representation and preservation of less widely written languages that require diacritical modifications to express unique consonants.
