U+08AC "ࢬ" Arabic Letter Rohingya Yeh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+08AC "ࢬ" Arabic Letter Rohingya Yeh is a specific character used in the Arabic script to represent the sound of the letter "y" with a unique pronunciation in the Rohingya language, spoken primarily by the Rohingya people in Myanmar and by Rohingya diaspora communities. This character is part of the Arabic Extended-A block, which was added to support the orthography of Rohingya, where it helps distinguish between different vowel and consonant sounds that are not present in standard Arabic. By using this modified letter, the Rohingya Arabic script can accurately represent the phonological nuances of the language, such as the long "e" sound that the Rohingya Yeh often denotes, thereby aiding in the accurate reading and writing of Rohingya texts in a religious and cultural context where Arabic script is traditionally used.
