U+075F "ݟ" Arabic Letter Ain with Two Dots Vertically Above is a modified Arabic letter used in certain extended Arabic script contexts, primarily for the representation of specific sounds in languages such as Sindhi and other regional languages of South Asia. It is based on the standard Arabic letter Ain, which represents a voiced pharyngeal fricative, but the addition of two vertically aligned dots above the character alters its phonetic value to denote a different consonantal sound, often a voiced implosive or a retroflex stop, depending on the language's orthographic conventions. This character belongs to the Arabic Supplement block in Unicode and is encoded to support the accurate transcription and digital representation of non-Arabic languages that require diacritical modifications to the basic Arabic alphabet.
