U+069E "ڞ" Arabic Letter Sad with Three Dots Above is a variant form of the Arabic letter Sad (ص), distinguished by three dots placed above the character rather than below. This letter is used primarily in certain Arabic-based orthographies, such as the Uyghur language, where it represents a voiced postalveolar affricate sound similar to the "j" in English "jump," contrasting with the standard Sad which denotes an emphatic voiceless sibilant. In Arabic script, the addition of dots above or below a base letter is a common diacritic method to create new letters for sounds not found in Classical Arabic, and U+069E specifically serves to extend the alphabet for non-Arabic languages that use a modified Arabic script.
