U+06C3 "ۃ" Arabic Letter Teh Marbuta Goal is a variant of the standard Arabic letter Teh Marbuta (ة), specifically used in certain orthographies for languages such as Arabic, Urdu, and Kashmiri to represent a distinct phonetic sound or syllable final form. Unlike the regular Teh Marbuta, which typically indicates a feminine noun ending or a glottal stop in pronunciation, this goal variant is often employed to denote a specific plosive or velar release in loanwords and proper names, ensuring accurate transliteration and textual clarity. It visually resembles the standard form but may appear with a small "goal" diacritic or shape modification, and its inclusion in the Unicode standard supports precise digital representation of diverse regional writing practices within the Arabic script family.
