Source: Browser Default
U+06A4 "ڤ" Arabic Letter Veh is a variant of the Arabic letter "ف" (Feh), distinguished by the addition of three dots above the base form, and it is used in the Arabic-based scripts of several languages, most notably Kurdish, where it represents the voiced labiodental fricative sound /v/, a phoneme that does not exist in Standard Arabic. This character can also be found in other languages influenced by Arabic script, such as some dialects of Persian and Pashto, to indicate a similar /v/ or /β/ sound, thereby serving as a modified glyph that expands the phonetic coverage of the Arabic alphabet beyond its original inventory.
