U+06EE "ۮ" Arabic Letter Dal with Inverted V Unicode Character

U+06EE "ۮ" Arabic Letter Dal with Inverted V is a specialized typographic variant in the Arabic script, used primarily for transliterating foreign sounds or representing dialectal pronunciations that fall outside standard Arabic phonology. This character modifies the base letter "Dal" (د) by adding an inverted V-shaped diacritic above it, which typically indicates a retroflex or emphatic articulation not found in classical Arabic. As part of the Unicode Arabic Extended-A block, it is employed in scholarly texts, linguistic documentation, and certain Central Asian writing systems to accurately depict sounds like the retroflex [ɖ] in languages such as Sindhi or Burushaski, thereby bridging gaps between the Arabic script and non-native phonetic inventories.
