U+06D0 "ې" Arabic Letter E is a character used in the Arabic script, primarily representing the vowel sound "e" as in "bed." It is not part of the standard Arabic alphabet for Arabic itself but is employed in extended Arabic-based alphabets for languages such as Pashto and Uyghur. In Pashto, for example, it is the seventh letter and is referred to as "ye" or "pasta ye," distinguishing it from other y-like letters, and it is written in a distinctive final form that curves downward. This letter enables accurate transcription of specific vowel sounds not present in classical Arabic.
