U+06C5 "ۅ" Arabic Letter Kirghiz Oe is a script character used in the Arabic alphabet specifically for the Kyrgyz language, where it represents a rounded front vowel sound, similar to the German "ö" or the French "eu." It is also known as the "Kyrgyz Oe" and is part of the Arabic Extended-A block in Unicode, functioning as a distinct letter in the Kyrgyz writing system to accurately transcribe a phoneme not present in standard Arabic. This character is visually distinctive with a small loop or dot above the main letter form, and it is primarily employed in texts from Central Asia, particularly in Kyrgyzstan, to write native words and borrowed terms requiring this specific vowel sound.
