Unicode Version 17.0

ݚ

U+075A "ݚ" Arabic Letter Dal with Inverted Small V Below is a character used in the extended Arabic script for specific orthographic needs, particularly in the writing of certain African languages such as Fulani, Hausa, and Wolof, where it represents a voiced dental implosive sound. This character consists of the basic Arabic letter "dal" (د) combined with a diacritical mark, an inverted small v shape placed beneath it, which modifies the consonant's pronunciation. It falls within the Arabic Supplement block of Unicode, added to support linguistic diversity beyond standard Arabic. Its use helps accurately render sounds that are not present in classical Arabic, ensuring that digital text processing and display systems can properly handle these specialized writing systems.
