U+06AC "ڬ" Arabic Letter Kaf with Dot Above is a modified form of the Arabic letter kaf, distinguished by a single dot positioned above the main body of the letter. This variant is primarily used in certain regional orthographies, most notably within the Jawi script for writing the Malay language, where it represents a specific phonetic sound that is distinct from the standard Arabic kaf. The character adds a dot above the base kaf shape to indicate a slight alteration in pronunciation, typically corresponding to a voiced velar or uvular sound in languages that require a more precise representation of local speech.
