U+069B "ڛ" Arabic Letter Seen with Three Dots Below is a variant of the Arabic letter seen (س), distinguished by three dots arranged in a triangle beneath its base. This letter is used in certain Arabic-based scripts, most notably in the African language of Hausa (Ajami script) and occasionally in other West African languages, where it represents a voiceless palatal or postalveolar fricative sound, similar to the English "sh" as in "shop." Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that digital text can accurately represent this distinct phonetic value within the broader Arabic script block.
