Unicode Version 17.0

ݻ

U+077B "ݻ" Arabic Letter Yeh Barree with Extended Arabic-Indic Digit Three Above is a specialized glyph used in certain Arabic-script orthographies, particularly for writing languages such as African varieties of Arabic or other regional dialects. This character combines the base Arabic letter Yeh Barree, which represents a long "e" or "i" sound, with a diacritical marking shaped like the digit three from the Extended Arabic-Indic numeral set, placed above the letter to indicate a unique phonetic value or tone. It belongs to the Arabic Supplement block and is employed in contexts where precise vocalization or dialectal pronunciation must be encoded digitally, allowing for accurate representation of sounds that do not occur in standard Arabic.
