Unicode Version 17.0

ݶ

U+0776 "ݶ" Arabic Letter Farsi Yeh with Extended Arabic-Indic Digit Three Above is a specialized glyph used in certain Arabic script orthographies, particularly for representing sounds or numerical notation in languages like Farsi or other regional variants. It combines the base letter "Farsi Yeh," which itself is a variant of the Arabic letter "yeh" used in Persian and other languages, with a small digit "3" (the Extended Arabic-Indic digit) placed above it, indicating a modified phonetic value or a superscript digit for numeric or grammatical contexts. This character is part of the Arabic Supplement block within Unicode, supporting extended Arabic script needs beyond the standard set, and is primarily employed in scholarly transcriptions or legacy text systems where such a combination is necessary for precise linguistic representation.
