Its form consists of the base Arabic letter "ت" (teh) with a small, superscript "V" shape attached to its left side, indicating a modified pronunciation. This character is part of the Arabic Extended-A block, designed to support the phonetic needs of languages that use Arabic script but require additional glyphs not found in traditional Arabic. It is considered a specialized glyph in the Unicode standard, included in version 8.0 to aid in the accurate digital representation of these linguistic variants.
