Unicode Version 17.0
ݫ
U+076B "ݫ" Arabic Letter Reh with Two Dots Vertically Above is a modified Arabic script character used primarily in certain African languages, such as in the extended Arabic alphabet for writing Wolof or other languages in the Sahel region. It represents a distinct phoneme, typically a retroflex or emphatic variant of the standard Arabic "reh" sound, and its diacritical mark of two vertically stacked dots above the letter distinguishes it from other similar characters. This character is part of the Arabic Supplement block in Unicode, designed to accommodate linguistic diversity beyond classical Arabic.
