U+08A2 "" Arabic Letter Jeem with Two Dots Above is a modified Arabic letter used in certain African languages, most notably in the Ajami script for writing languages like Hausa and Fulfulde, where it represents a voiced palatal plosive or affricate sound, specifically the /dʒ/ or /ɟ/ phoneme, distinct from the standard Arabic letter Jeem (ج). Its encoding in Unicode allows for accurate digital representation of these non-Arabic orthographies that rely on Arabic script adaptations. The character is part of the Arabic Extended-A block and is typically displayed with two dots positioned above the base Jeem form, differentiating it from other dotted variants in the same script family.
