U+0775 "ݵ" Arabic Letter Farsi Yeh with Extended Arabic-Indic Digit Two Above Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ݵ

U+0775 "ݵ" Arabic Letter Farsi Yeh with Extended Arabic-Indic Digit Two Above is a specialized character used in certain extended Arabic script orthographies, primarily for languages that require a modified form of the letter "Yeh" to represent a specific phonetic value or grammatical function. The character combines the base shape of the Farsi Yeh, which resembles a final or isolated form of the Persian ye, with an overlaid diacritic styled as the digit "2" from the Extended Arabic-Indic numeral set. This diacritic, written above the letter, indicates a distinct pronunciation or transliteration convention, often associated with the representation of sounds like the voiced palatal approximant in some Central Asian or African languages that use an extended version of the Arabic script. As part of the Arabic Supplement block in Unicode, it supports scholarly and practical needs for precise linguistic transcription and digital text representation beyond the core Arabic alphabet.
