Source: Browser Default
U+08C6 "ࣆ" Arabic Letter Jeem with Three Dots Below is a specialized Arabic script character used in certain extended Arabic orthographies, particularly for writing African languages such as Hausa or Fulfulde, where it represents a distinct consonant sound not found in standard Arabic. This letter is derived from the base Arabic letter Jeem (ج) but is modified by adding three dots below the body of the character to indicate a different phonetic value, often corresponding to a voiced palatal or palatalized stop. Its inclusion in Unicode supports the accurate digital representation of these African languages, ensuring that texts can be typed, stored, and displayed correctly in modern computing systems.
