Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+0695 "ڕ" Arabic Letter Reh with Small V Below is a modified letter used primarily in the Kurdish Sorani alphabet, where it represents a voiced alveolar tap or flap sound, distinct from the standard Arabic "reh" (ر). This character is formed by adding a small "v" shaped diacritic below the base letter "ر" (U+0631), which changes its pronunciation and function in the orthography of languages like Central Kurdish. It appears in written texts, such as signage and newspaper headings, where it denotes a specific phonemic contrast, and it is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Arabic script block for consistent digital representation across platforms.
