U+076D "ݭ" Arabic Letter Seen with Two Dots Vertically Above Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+076D "ݭ" Arabic Letter Seen with Two Dots Vertically Above is a specialized Arabic script character used primarily in certain African languages, such as those of the Fulani and Hausa orthographies, to represent a unique consonant sound not found in standard Arabic. It is formed by modifying the base letter seen (س) with two dots placed vertically above, indicating a variant pronunciation often akin to a palatalized or slightly shifted sibilant. This character falls within the Arabic Extended-A Unicode block, which was introduced to accommodate additional letters needed for various non-Arabic languages that employ the Arabic script. Its inclusion ensures that digital text can accurately represent the phonetic distinctions required for proper writing and communication in these linguistic communities.
