Gaf

Gaf with line

گ‎ is based on kāf with an additional line. It is rarely used in Arabic itself, but may be used to represent the sound /ɡ/ when writing other languages. It is frequently used in Persian, Uyghur, Urdu and Kurdish and is one of four Perso-Arabic letters not found in Arabic.

ݣ‎ can also be used to represent /ɡ/ in Morocco, occidental Algeria and many Berber languages.

Gaf with single dot

ݢ‎ is derived from a variant form (ک‎) of kāf with the addition of a dot. It is not used in the Arabic language itself, but is used in the Jawi script of Malay to represent a voiced velar stop /ɡ/. Unicode includes two forms on this letter: one based on the standard Arabic kāf, ك‎, and one based on the variant form ک‎. The latter is the preferred form.

Gaf with line and two dots

ڳ‎ is derived from a variant form (ک‎) of kāf with the addition of a line and two dots. It is not used in the Arabic language itself, but is used in the Saraiki alphabet.

Gaf with three dots

ݣ‎ is based on a variant form (ک‎) of kāf with the addition of three dots. It is used in occidental Algerian Arabic (otherwise, ڨ is used), in Moroccan Arabic (though Persian گ can also be used) and in many Berber languages to represent /ɡ/. Examples on its use, as in many city names such as (أݣادير‎, also written: أغادير‎) and family names such as El Guerrouj (الݣروج‎, also written: الكروج‎). In Morocco, occidental Algeria and many Berber languages, the Persian letter گ‎ can also be used instead.

Its initial and medial forms are identical to ڭ‎, which represents /ŋ/ in some languages. However, their isolated and final forms are different.
