Unicode Version 17.0

ݹ

U+0779 "ݹ" Arabic Letter Waw with Extended Arabic-Indic Digit Three Above is a specialized character used in certain Arabic script orthographies, particularly for representing specific phonetic or numeral values in languages like Sindhi or other regional variants. It combines the base letter "waw" (indicating the consonant sound /w/ or a long vowel /uː/) with a diacritical mark resembling the extended Arabic-Indic digit three placed above it. This superscript digit often serves a grammatical or phonological function, such as indicating a third-person marker or a particular vowel quality, rather than a standard numeral. Its encoding allows for precise representation in digital text, ensuring that historical or minority language texts retain their unique typographic features without needing complex font substitutions.
