U+087F "ࡿ" Arabic Letter Alef with Right Middle Stroke and Left Ring Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+087F "ࡿ" Arabic Letter Alef with Right Middle Stroke and Left Ring is a specialized typographic variant of the Arabic letter alef, encoded for historical and orthographic use within certain manuscript traditions, particularly those associated with the Arabic script's extended forms for representing early or dialectal phonetic distinctions. The character features a distinctive right middle stroke along the vertical stem, combined with a small left ring attached near the base, which visually differentiates it from the standard alef. It is included in the Arabic Extended C block of Unicode and is intended primarily for scholarly text processing and the digital preservation of rare script variants, rather than for modern standard Arabic writing.
