U+08B5 "ࢵ" Arabic Letter Qaf with Dot Below and No Dots Above Unicode Character

U+08B5 "ࢵ" Arabic Letter Qaf with Dot Below and No Dots Above is a distinct Arabic letter used in certain African languages and Arabic dialects, primarily for representing a voiced uvular or velar consonant sound that differs from the standard Arabic qāf. This character is a variant of the base letter qaf, modified with a single dot placed below the letterform and explicitly lacking the two dots typically found above the standard qaf in Arabic script. It belongs to the Arabic Extended-A block and supports the orthographic needs of languages such as Fulfulde, Hausa, and various Berber languages, where it helps differentiate phonetic nuances in writing.
