U+06D7 "ۗ" Arabic Small High Ligature Qaf with Lam with Alef Maksura Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+06D7 "ۗ" Arabic Small High Ligature Qaf with Lam with Alef Maksura is a specialized typographic glyph used in certain classical Arabic texts, particularly in Quranic orthography, where it denotes a specific ligatured combination of the letters qaf, lam, and alef maksura joined in a compact superscript form. This character serves as a scribal abbreviation or phonetic notation, helping to indicate a particular vocalization or grammatical construction when written above the base text, though it is rarely used in modern standard Arabic printing. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that digital representations of historical manuscripts and religious works can faithfully preserve these nuanced script elements without loss of the original calligraphic intent.
