U+0774 "ݴ" Arabic Letter Alef with Extended Arabic-Indic Digit Three Above is a specialized character used in certain Arabic script orthographies, primarily in the context of writing African languages like Fula or Wolof, where it represents a modified or marked form of the letter alef. The digit three, written above the alef, serves as a diacritical mark to indicate a specific phonetic value, often a glottal stop or a long vowel distinct from standard Arabic usage. This character is part of the Extended Arabic Supplement block and ensures precise linguistic representation in digital text for languages that extend beyond classical or modern standard Arabic scripts.
