Source: Browser Default
U+0688 "ڈ" Arabic Letter Ddal is a distinct letter used in the Urdu, Kashmiri, and Punjabi (Shahmukhi) scripts, where it represents a retroflex voiced plosive sound, similar to the "d" in the English word "dart" but pronounced with the tongue curled back against the roof of the mouth. This character is formed by adding a small diacritical mark or a curved stroke above the base letter "د" (dal) to indicate its retroflex nature, and it is encoded in the Unicode Standard as part of the Arabic block to support the extended Arabic alphabet used for these languages.
