U+064D "ٍ" Arabic Kasratan Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+064D "ٍ" Arabic Kasratan is a combining diacritical mark used in the Arabic script, known in Arabic as "Kasratan" or "double kasra," which indicates the indefinite accusative or genitive case with nunation in the form of two downward slanted strokes placed beneath a letter. It is primarily employed in fully vocalized Arabic texts, such as the Quran or educational materials, to denote a short /i/ sound followed by an implied "n" (nunation), making it a phonetic marker that is always positioned as a subscript below the consonant it modifies. This character is distinct in its combining nature, meaning it must be attached to a base Arabic letter to be displayed correctly, and it plays a crucial role in classical Arabic grammar and pronunciation.
