U+0694 "ڔ" Arabic Letter Reh with Dot Below Unicode Character

U+0694 "ڔ" Arabic Letter Reh with Dot Below is a variant of the Arabic letter "reh" (ر) that appears in certain extended Arabic scripts, including those used for languages like Sindhi, Kashmiri, and occasionally in Arabic-based orthographies for African languages. It represents a distinct phoneme, typically a retroflex or similar non-emphatic consonantal sound, differing from the standard "reh" by the presence of a small dot placed directly beneath the letter's base. This distinction can affect both pronunciation and meaning in written text, and the form is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Arabic Extended-A block for precise digital representation and interchange.
