U+068C "ڌ" Arabic Letter Dahal is a character used in the Arabic script, primarily representing a voiced dental fricative or a similar consonant sound in languages such as Sindhi and sometimes in other regional orthographies of South Asia, where it is often transliterated as "dh" or "ḏ". It is shaped like a dal with an additional three dots above, distinguishing it from the standard Arabic letter dal, and it serves as an essential glyph for accurately writing words in those languages, thereby contributing to the proper representation of phonetic distinctions in extended Arabic-based writing systems.
