Unicode Version 17.0
U+08C0 "ࣀ" Arabic Letter Tteh with Small V is a specialized letter used in the extended Arabic script, primarily for writing the Sindhi language and other South Asian languages that employ the Arabic alphabet. It represents a retroflex or emphatic dental sound, similar to a hard "t" or "ʈ", with the distinctive "small V" diacritic placed above the base letter "tteh" to modify its pronunciation. This character is part of the Arabic Extended-A block and was added to the Unicode standard to support accurate textual representation of certain sounds that occur in languages like Sindhi, where standard Arabic letters are insufficient. Its inclusion ensures proper digital encoding and display for linguistic and educational materials in these regional scripts.
