U+061D "؝" Arabic End of Text Mark Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
؝
U+061D "؝" Arabic End of Text Mark is a typographic symbol used in Arabic script to explicitly indicate the conclusion of a written passage, section, or document, functioning similarly to an end-of-text marker in other writing systems. It is encoded in the Unicode standard under the Arabic block and serves a specific editorial or formatting purpose, particularly in traditional or formal Arabic texts where a clear visual demarcation of the ending point is required. This character is distinct from common punctuation marks like the period or full stop, as it carries a specialized role in certain calligraphic or manuscript contexts, though its use is rare in modern digital Arabic writing.
