عـ / ـعـ / ـع / ع • ('ayn or 'eyn )
The twenty-first letter of the Perso-Arabic alphabet . It is preceded by ظ and followed by غ . Its name is عین . Usage notes
Edit
Since Persian approximated the Arabic ع (/ʕ/, "Voiced pharyngeal fricative") to a glottal stop /ʔ/, ع does not have a distinct phoneme. As the glottal stop was already represented by the ء ( “ hamza/hamze ” ) in medial and final positions and ا ( “ alif/alef ” ) in word-initial positions.
