Unicode Version 17.0
ݞ
U+075E "ݞ" Arabic Letter Ain with Three Dots Pointing Downwards Above is a modified form of the standard Arabic letter "ع" (Ain), distinguished by three dots positioned above it that point downward, and it belongs to the Arabic Extended-A block, specifically used to represent a unique phonetic sound in certain languages that employ the Arabic script, such as Sindhi and potentially other regional languages or dialects, where it denotes a voiced pharyngeal or epiglottal consonant distinct from the standard Ain, thereby expanding the script's capability to accurately transcribe non-Arabic phonemes.
