Source: Browser Default
U+06FC "ۼ" Arabic Letter Ghain with Dot Below is a variant of the Arabic letter Ghain (غ) that is used primarily in the orthographies of certain African languages, such as the Adamaua Fulfulde language, to represent a voiced velar or uvular implosive sound that is distinct from the standard Ghain. This character is formed by adding a single dot beneath the base Ghain shape, which visually modifies its phonetic value in the Arabic script. It belongs to the Arabic Unicode block and is encoded for textual representation in digital systems, allowing for the accurate transcription of specific phonemes that are not covered by the standard Arabic letter inventory.
