U+063A "غ" Arabic Letter Ghain is the eighteenth letter of the Arabic alphabet, representing a voiced velar fricative sound, similar to a guttural "g" that is produced by vibrating the back of the tongue against the soft palate, a sound not found in English but common in Arabic and Persian. This letter appears in many Arabic words, such as "غرفة" (ghurfa, meaning room) and "مغرب" (maghrib, meaning sunset or the Maghreb region), and it also functions as a transliteration symbol for the Sanskrit phoneme "ga" in some South Asian scripts. In its isolated form, the character is written with a distinctive curved stroke and a single dot above the body, and it connects to other letters in a cursive style within Arabic script, changing shape based on its position in a word.
