Unicode Version 17.0
؞
U+061E "؞" Arabic Triple Dot Punctuation Mark is a punctuation symbol used primarily in Arabic script to indicate a very strong pause or end of a sentence, similar in function to a full stop but with a stylistic nuance of finality or solemnity, often appearing in classical or religious texts. It consists of three dots arranged in a triangle and occupies the same vertical space as a single Arabic letter, blending seamlessly into the calligraphic flow of the script. While not as common in modern standard Arabic writing, it remains a recognized and defined character within the Unicode Standard for historical and typographic purposes.
