U+0765 "ݥ" Arabic Letter Meem with Dot Above Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+0765 "ݥ" Arabic Letter Meem with Dot Above is a specialized Arabic script character used historically or within specific linguistic transcriptions to represent a variant pronunciation of the letter "meem," where the dot above traditionally modifies the consonant's phonetic value, often indicating a voicing or nasalization distinction not found in standard Arabic. This character belongs to the Arabic Extended-A block, a range designed to accommodate additions for African languages, such as those in the Fulani or Hausa writing systems, as well as for historical Quranic or classical textual notes. Its usage remains rare in modern mainstream Arabic, but it can appear in scholarly works or orthographies where precise phonetic notation is required, distinguishing it from the base meem through the diacritic's placement.
