B̤ē

unicode|B̤ē is an additional letter of the Arabic alphabet, derived from unicode|bāʼ (ب) with an additional dot. It is not used in Arabic itself, but is used to represent a voiced bilabial implosive (IPA: IPA|/ɓ/) when writing Hausa and Sindhi in the Arabic script. The same sound may also be written simply as bāʼ in Hausa, undifferentiated from IPA|/b/.Both Hausa and Sindhi are also written in scripts besides Arabic. The sound represented by unicode|b̤ē is written unicode|Ɓ ɓ in Hausa's Latin orthography, and written unicode|ॿ in Sindhi's Devanagari orthography.
