It is written as in Saraiki and Sindhi's Devanagari orthography. It is derived from dāl (د), with a small ṭāʼ (ط) above to represent retroflexion (as in Urdu), and two dots below to represent implosion (as in Sindhi).The unicode for saraiki letter ݙ was approved in 2005.[1] The examples of ݙ are ݙیوا، ݙو، ݙاہ، ݙانگ، ݙوئی، ݙیݙر، ݙینہ
