U+06DD "" Arabic End of Ayah Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+06DD "" Arabic End of Ayah is a typographic symbol used in Arabic script manuscripts to mark the end of a verse, or ayah, in the Quran, often serving a function similar to a verse number but distinct from the more common ayah number symbol U+06DD. It appears as a small, ornate loop or circle filled with a dot, and it is typically placed after the final word of a Quranic verse to indicate a pause or completion, though its use is largely historical or stylistic rather than required in modern digital Quranic text. This character is encoded in the Unicode standard to preserve the ability to represent such traditional calligraphic and scriptural features accurately across computing platforms.
