U+06CB "ۋ" Arabic Letter Ve is a glyph used in the Arabic script, primarily within the alphabets of the Uyghur and Kazakh languages, to represent a voiced labiodental fricative sound similar to the English "v". It is formed by adding three dots above the base form of the Arabic letter waw (و), distinguishing it from the standard waw which represents a "w" sound. This character was introduced into the Unicode standard to accommodate the orthographic needs of Central Asian Turkic languages that adopted a modified Arabic alphabet.
