ݙ

Additional letter of the Arabic script From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ݙ is an additional letter of the Arabic script, not used in the Arabic alphabet itself but used in Saraiki to represent a voiced alveolar implosive, [ɗ]. Its other form is also found in Saraiki as spoken in Multan in the form of voiced retroflex implosive, [].

It is written as in Saraiki and Sindhi's Devanagari orthography. It is derived from the letter ḍāl (ڈ), which is used to represent the [ɖ], and two dots below to represent implosion (as in Sindhi). The Unicode character for ݙ was approved in 2005.[1]
