U+0629 "ة" Arabic Letter Teh Marbuta is a distinct letter in the Arabic alphabet that represents a feminine noun ending or a suffix, often pronounced as a "t" sound when the word is in a construct state or followed by a vowel, but as a silent "h" at the end of a word in isolation. It visually resembles a heh with two dots above it, and its name translates to "tied t" or "closed t," reflecting its dual function in grammar and pronunciation. This character is essential for forming feminine nouns and adjectives in Arabic, and it is used in many other languages that employ the Arabic script, such as Persian and Urdu, though its role and pronunciation may vary slightly.
