ݮ

U+076E "ݮ" Arabic Letter Hah with Small Arabic Letter Tah Below is a modified Arabic letter used primarily for representing specific sounds in certain Arabic-script based languages, particularly in West African languages such as Hausa, Fula, or Wolof, where it denotes a voiced retroflex or implosive consonant not found in standard Arabic. It visually consists of the base Arabic letter "Hah" (ح) with a small "Tah" (ط) written below it, serving as a diacritical indicator of its altered phonetic value. This character falls within the Arabic Supplement block of Unicode, which was added to support extended Arabic orthographies beyond the core Arabic script, enabling accurate digital representation and transcription of regional languages. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that texts in these languages can be written, shared, and processed consistently across digital platforms, preserving linguistic diversity in modern communication.
