Unicode Version 17.0
ܿ
U+073F "ܿ" Syriac Rwaha is a diacritical mark used in the Syriac script, primarily associated with the Eastern Syriac vocalization system to indicate the presence of a following "w" sound or to denote a specific breathy or aspirated quality in certain consonants, often serving a phonetic function similar to a soft breathing or a vowel glide. It appears as a small symbol placed above or attached to a base letter in Syriac texts, such as in classical liturgical or literary writings, and is distinct from other Syriac diacritics like the hard or soft breathings.
