U+06E7 "ۧ" Arabic Small High Yeh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+06E7 "ۧ" Arabic Small High Yeh is a diacritical mark used in the Arabic script, specifically within the Quranic orthography and some scholarly texts, to represent a small, superscript form of the letter Yeh. It serves as a phonetic or orthographic indicator, often appearing above other base characters to denote a long vowel sound or to function as a mater lectionis, thereby aiding in the correct pronunciation and recitation of Arabic, particularly in the Uthmanic script tradition of the Quran. Unlike standalone letters, this combining mark modifies adjacent characters and is not used independently in standard modern Arabic writing, making it a specialized element within Unicode’s Arabic supplement block for advanced textual representation.
