U+0679 "ٹ" Arabic Letter Tteh is a distinct letter used in several languages that employ the Arabic script, most notably Urdu, Punjabi, and Kashmiri. It represents a retroflex t sound, produced with the tongue curled back against the roof of the mouth, which is a crucial phonetic feature distinguishing it from the standard Arabic "ت" (teh). In these languages, it is typically the fourth letter of their alphabet and is essential for accurately writing words that contain this specific retroflex consonant, such as the Urdu word for date fruit, "کھجور".
