Gāf (گ; Persian: گاف), is the name of different Perso-Arabic letters, all representing /ɡ/. They are all derived from the letter Kāf (ک), with additional diacritics, such as dots and lines. In name and shape, it is a variant of Kāf (ک).
It is also one of the five letters the Persian alphabet added to the Arabic alphabet, which are; Že (ژ), Če (چ), and Gaf (گ), in addition to the obsolete Ve (ڤ). Its numerical value is 5000 (see Abjad numerals), except for the Jawi variant (ݢ) which instead has a value of 6000. There are four forms, each used in different alphabets:
- Gāf (گ) in the Persian alphabet, Tausug written in the Arabic script
- Gāf (ݢ) in the Jawi script
- Gāf (ࢴ or ڮ) in the Pegon script
- Gāf (ګ) in Pashto
