U+06EF "ۯ" Arabic Letter Reh with Inverted V is a rare letter used in Arabic script extensions, specifically for the Khowar language spoken in parts of northern Pakistan. This character represents a retroflex sound that is distinct from the standard Arabic "reh" (ر), and its name derives from the inverted V-shaped diacritic placed above the base letter to indicate this unique phonetic quality. It is part of the Arabic Extended-A block in Unicode, supporting the orthography of minority languages that require additional characters beyond the standard Arabic alphabet.
