U+062B "ث" Arabic Letter Theh is the third letter of the Arabic alphabet, known as "Theh" or "Thāʾ," and it represents the voiceless dental fricative sound "th" as in the English word "think." In the Arabic script, it is written with three dots placed above a curved base that resembles a small basin or bowl, distinguishing it from the similar letters Bāʾ (ب) with one dot and Nūn (ن) with one dot above a different form. This letter is used in numerous languages that employ the Arabic script, including Persian, Urdu, and Pashto, though its phonetic value may shift in some languages, such as becoming a hard "t" sound in Persian. In the Unicode standard, it is encoded under the Arabic block as a basic letter for text representation, commonly appearing in digital contexts for writing words like "ثلاثة" (thalātha, meaning "three") in Arabic.
