Gāf (ڨ)

In Tunisian and in Algerian, Gāf (ڨ), similar look to Qāf (ق) but with three dots, is used for /ɡ/, such as in names of places or persons containing a voiced velar stop, as in Gafsa (ڨفصة) or Guelma (ڨالمة). If the usage of that letter is not possible for technical restrictions, Qāf (ق) is often used instead. In Arabic script representations of the Chechen language, Gāf (ڨ) is used to represent the uvular ejective/qʼ/, and /v/ in Hindko language (within Pakistan), called Vāf.
