U+06D4 "۔" Arabic Full Stop Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
۔
U+06D4 "۔" Arabic Full Stop is a punctuation mark used primarily in the Arabic script, particularly in Persian, Urdu, and other languages written in a modified Arabic alphabet. Unlike the Latin period, which is a small dot, this character is rendered as a small, raised circle or a diamond shaped mark, serving as a sentence terminal indicator equivalent to a full stop or period. It is distinct from the Arabic comma and other punctuation, and its usage is specific to the typographic conventions of languages like Urdu, where it marks the end of a sentence.
