Ṭhē

Ṭhē is an additional letter of the Arabic script. It has the basic shape of tāʼ (ت‎), but with vertical dots, rather than horizontal. It is not used in the Arabic alphabet itself, but is used to represent an aspirated [ʈʰ] in Sindhi, a language mainly spoken in Pakistan. Its Latin description is ṭh,[1] or sometimes t́h.

In an older version of the script, the ٽ‎ was used instead of ٺ‎ and vice versa.

Position in word: Isolated Final Medial Initial
Glyph form:
(Help) 		ٺ‎ ـٺ‎ ـٺـ‎ ٺـ‎

Sindhi is also written in Devanagari, where the corresponding letter is ठ.

The letter is encoded in the Arabic Unicode block as Tteheh at U+067A.
