U+08A5 "ࢥ" Arabic Letter Qaf with Dot Below Unicode Character

U+08A5 "ࢥ" Arabic Letter Qaf with Dot Below is a grapheme used in the extended Arabic script, primarily intended for the transcription of certain African languages such as Fulfulde or Hausa, where it represents a voiced uvular or velar stop sound distinct from the standard Arabic qaf. This character consists of the base Arabic letter qaf with a single dot placed beneath it, following the established pattern of modifying standard Arabic letters with diacritical dots to produce phonemes not present in Classical Arabic. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that digital text processing and typography can accurately represent these languages in modern computing environments.
