U+06A3 "ڣ" Arabic Letter Feh with Dot Below is a modified form of the Arabic letter Feh (ف) that includes a single dot placed underneath the base character, distinguishing it from the standard Feh and its other diacritic variants. This letter is primarily used in the writing of certain African languages, such as Hausa and Fulfulde, where it represents a voiced bilabial fricative or a similar phonetic sound not found in standard Arabic. In the Arabic script, the dot below indicates a specific consonantal modification, allowing the script to accommodate non-Arabic phonemes while maintaining the visual structure of the Arabic alphabet.
