U+06AD "ڭ" Arabic Letter Ng is a distinct variant of the Arabic script used primarily to represent the velar nasal sound "ng", similar to the "ng" in the English word "sing". It is historically and regionally employed in languages such as Ottoman Turkish, Uyghur, Kazakh, and some dialects of Persian and Pashto, where it serves to transliterate or natively write sounds not covered by the standard Arabic alphabet. The letter consists of a base form resembling the Arabic letter "ك" but with three dots arranged in a triangular pattern above the body, distinguishing its unique phonetic role in these writing systems.
