Unicode Version 17.0
ࢍ
U+088D "ࢍ" Arabic Letter Keheh with Two Dots Vertically Below is a specialized Arabic script character used primarily in certain languages of South and Central Asia, such as Urdu and Punjabi, where it represents a distinct consonant sound that is not present in standard Arabic. This letter is a modified form of the basic "Keheh" character, with two dots placed vertically below the base glyph to differentiate it phonetically from similar letters like the standard keheh or the Arabic kaf. It is encoded in the Unicode standard within the Arabic Extended-A block, enabling accurate digital representation and text processing for languages that require this specific variant.
