U+06B0 "ڰ" Arabic Letter Gaf with Ring is a variant of the Arabic letter gaf, distinguished by a small ring diacritic attached to its body, used primarily in certain Arabic-based orthographies for languages such as Urdu and some North African scripts to represent a specific g-like sound distinct from other gaf forms. It belongs to the Arabic block in Unicode and is encoded for digital text representation, enabling consistent typographic rendering in applications that support complex script shaping. This character is less common than other gaf variants but remains important for accurately preserving phonetic distinctions in written forms of languages like Kashmiri or historical Ottoman Turkish, where the ring modifies the default pronunciation.
