U+066F "ٯ" Arabic Letter Dotless Qaf Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+066F "ٯ" Arabic Letter Dotless Qaf is a variant of the Arabic letter qaf that notably lacks the two dots typically placed above the standard qaf form in Arabic script. It is used in certain historical or regional orthographies, including some forms of the Maghrebi script, to represent the voiceless uvular stop sound without the dot marking that distinguishes it from the letter fa. This character is encoded in the Unicode standard to support accurate representation of diverse Arabic writing traditions and manuscript texts where this dotless variant appears.
