U+0773 "ݳ" Arabic Letter Alef with Extended Arabic-Indic Digit Two Above Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+0773 "ݳ" Arabic Letter Alef with Extended Arabic-Indic Digit Two Above is a specialized glyph used in extended Arabic script orthographies, particularly for languages such as Fulfulde, Hausa, or Wolof, where it represents a vowel sound or a phonetic distinction that is not covered by the standard Arabic alphabet. This character combines the base letter alef with a diacritical mark resembling the Eastern Arabic numeral two (like ٢) placed above it, which serves as a vowel indicator rather than a numeric value. It belongs to the Arabic Supplement block and is encoded for digital text processing to accurately transcribe non-Arabic languages that use a modified Perso-Arabic script, ensuring proper representation of sounds in these linguistic systems.
