U+0874 "ࡴ" Arabic Letter Alef with Attached Kasra Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ࡴ
U+0874 "ࡴ" Arabic Letter Alef with Attached Kasra is a distinct glyph used in the Arabic script, specifically representing an alif (the long vowel "a") that is modified with a small stroke or mark resembling the kasra diacritic (the "i" vowel sign) directly attached to its body. This character is part of the Arabic Extended-B block and is employed primarily in specialized orthographies or historical variants of Arabic, such as in Mandaic or other liturgical contexts, to indicate a specific vocalization or phonetic nuance that differs from the standard alif with a separate kasra. It serves as a typographic and linguistic tool for accurately representing certain words or forms in written texts.
