U+075C "ݜ" Arabic Letter Seen with Four Dots Above Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+075C "ݜ" Arabic Letter Seen with Four Dots Above is a modified form of the standard Arabic letter seen (س) that is used in certain languages, most notably in the Shina language spoken in parts of Pakistan and India, as well as in the Burushaski language. This character represents a unique retroflex or palatal fricative sound that is not found in classical Arabic, and its four-dot diacritic distinguishes it from other similar letters like the three-dot versions used for other languages. The inclusion of U+075C in the Unicode standard allows for proper digital representation and text processing of these regional languages, ensuring that writers and speakers can accurately transcribe their phonetic inventory in electronic documents and communications.
