U+0769 "ݩ" Arabic Letter Noon with Small V Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ݩ
U+0769 "ݩ" Arabic Letter Noon with Small V is a variant of the Arabic letter noon, primarily used in certain African languages such as Fulfulde and Hausa, where it represents a palatalized or prenasalized sound distinct from the standard noon. It is encoded in the Arabic Supplement block and is formed by adding a small Arabic letter v above the base noon character, allowing for accurate orthographic representation in these writing systems. This character helps maintain the phonetic precision required for proper reading and writing in languages that have adopted the Arabic script with additional diacritical modifications.
