U+0764 "ݤ" Arabic Letter Keheh with Three Dots Pointing Upwards Below Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ݤ
U+0764 "ݤ" Arabic Letter Keheh with Three Dots Pointing Upwards Below is a specialized Arabic script character used primarily in certain African languages, such as the Sindhi and potentially other regional dialects, to represent a distinct phonetic sound. It belongs to the Arabic Extended-A block and is visually based on the standard Arabic letter Keheh (which itself is a variant of Kaf) but is modified by the addition of three small dots positioned beneath the letter, pointing upward. This diacritic alteration indicates a specific consonantal pronunciation that differs from the standard Keheh, allowing for the accurate orthographic representation of non-Arabic phonemes in languages that adopted the Arabic script for writing.
