U+061A "ؚ" Arabic Small Kasra Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ؚ
U+061A "ؚ" Arabic Small Kasra is a diacritical mark used in the Arabic script to indicate a short vowel sound akin to the English "i" or a high front vowel. Unlike the standard Kasra, which is written as a small diagonal stroke below a letter, this variant is described as a "small Kasra" and appears as a tiny, circle-like dot placed beneath the base character in certain orthographic systems. It is primarily employed for phonetic precision in Quranic recitation, classical texts, or scholarly transcriptions where subtle vowel distinctions are necessary.
