ݨ, (Arabic letter noon with small tah (U+0768), ṇūṇ), is an additional letter of the Arabic script,[1] not used in the Arabic alphabet itself but used in Saraiki, Shina and Shahmukhi Punjabi to represent a retroflex nasal consonant, pronounced as /link/.ڼ is the twenty-ninth letter of Pashto alphabet. It represents the retroflex nasal letter (IPA: [ɳ]) or Ṇ in Latin Alphabets, which is ण in Devanagari and ਣ in Gurmukhi.[2] In Sindhi, Sindhi: ڻ is used.
The Unicode for Saraiki letter ݨ was approved in 2005.[3] Saraiki (and rarely in Shahmukhi Punjabi) uses the letter ⟨ݨ⟩ for pronounced as /link/. Previously, ڑن was used to represent a voiced retroflex nasal.
It is a compound of nūn and ṛe ⟨ڑ⟩, for example:
The only Nastaliq font that supports the alphabet is "Mehr Nastaliq Saraiki".[4]
