Arabic grammarians describe Arabic language as the لغة الضاد lughat aḍ-ḍād "the language of ḍād", since the sound was thought to be unique to Arabic. 
We chose with this coasters collection the emphasizing Shadda & the Dhamma:
-Dhamma ضَمَّة is a small curl-like diacritic placed above a letter to represent a short “u”. For example: ضُ du.
-Shadda شَدَّة shaped like a small written Latin “w". It is used to indicate emphasis or extra length when written above the consonant to be doubled.
