U+088C "ࢌ" Arabic Letter Tah with Three Dots Below is a relatively recent addition to the Unicode Standard, included in version 14.0 in 2021 as part of the Arabic Extended-B block. This character represents a specific modified form of the Arabic letter Tah, distinguished by the three dots positioned beneath it, which is used in certain African languages, most notably in the Balochi and possibly other regional orthographies, to denote a particular phonetic value distinct from standard Tah. Its encoding supports the accurate digital representation of these languages in modern text.
