This letter is never used in Morocco, nor it is known by anyone. Fenakhay (talk) 04:06, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

I've moved this here because it hinges on usage. I would note that the information about its use in Moroccan Arabic can be found at w:Che (Persian letter), which w:ڜ redirects to. It was added by a Filipino IP, but User:Mahmudmasri and User:عربي-٣١, (who edit here and are apparently both native speakers of other Arabic lects) edited that part and didn't challenge it.

This letter has to have been used somewhere, so we need to find out where that is/was and convert it to the correct language if it's not really Moroccan Arabic. Chuck Entz (talk) 05:50, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

I have changed the redirect target of ڜ to w:Shin (letter)#Arabic šīn with additional three dots below.  --Lambiam 09:17, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

Like the English Wikipedia, the French Wikipedia states that the letter is used in Maghrebi Arabic for representing the sound [tʃ] found in some loan words, citing two 19th-century sources. The Arabic Wikipedia calls it an additional letter to the Arabic alphabet, added for the phonetic transcription of some foreign words, without further detail.  --Lambiam 12:42, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
