U+087D "ࡽ" Arabic Letter Alef with Attached Bottom Right Kasra and Dot Above Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+087D "ࡽ" Arabic Letter Alef with Attached Bottom Right Kasra and Dot Above is a specialized glyph used in the extended Arabic script for certain historical or phonetic writing systems, particularly in the representation of the Mandaic or other early Semitic languages where precise vowel marking and diacritical distinction are required. Its name describes a specific combination of an alef base with a Kasra vowel sign attached at the bottom right and an additional dot above, indicating a unique pronunciation or orthographic tradition that is not commonly found in standard modern Arabic. This character was added to the Unicode Standard as part of the Arabic Extended-B block, which aims to support scholarly transcription and the digital preservation of rare or archaic textual forms.
