The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
Gaf, or gāf, can be the name of different Perso-Arabic letters, all representing /ɡ/. They are all forms of the letter kāf, with additional diacritics, such as dots and lines. There are four forms, each used in different places:
- گ in Perso-Arabic alphabet
- ݢ in the Jawi script
- ࢴ in the Pegon script
- ڭ/ݣ in Moroccan Arabic
- ڨ in Algerian Arabic, Tunisian Arabic and Berber languages
- ګ in Pashto
- ڳ in Sindhi and Saraiki
Note that the standard practice in Egypt (in Literary Arabic and Egyptian Arabic) is to use ج ǧīm for /g/, and in Arabic dialects like Hejazi Arabic and Najdi Arabic the غ and ق qāf are used instead to represent /ɡ/ e.g. هونغ كونغ (Hong Kong) and غاندالف (Gandalf), so the name gāf (Hejazi: [ɡäːf], Najdi: [ɡɑːf]) can be used for the letter when trying to explain a pronunciation or a spelling of a word, whether the word is foreign or dialectal.
