U+0615 "ؕ" Arabic Small High Tah Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ؕ

U+0615 "ؕ" Arabic Small High Tah is a diacritical mark used in certain Arabic script contexts, primarily in writing systems for languages like Urdu and Sindhi, where it appears as a superscript form of the letter "Tah" to indicate a specific phonetic modification or to assist in accurate Quranic recitation and orthographic clarity. It belongs to the Arabic block of Unicode and functions as a combining character, meaning it typically attaches to a base letter to alter its pronunciation or grammatical role without introducing a new independent letter. This small high form helps distinguish subtle sound variations in texts that require precise vocalization, especially in religious or scholarly works where correct articulation is essential.
