U+0885 "ࢅ" Arabic Tatweel with Two Dots Below Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+0885 "ࢅ" Arabic Tatweel with Two Dots Below is a specialized Arabic script symbol used to mark a specific orthographic or phonetic function, likely related to elongation or stretching of a letter, as the tatweel (or kashida) character traditionally serves to extend the connecting line between Arabic letters. The addition of two dots below the tatweel distinguishes it from the standard tatweel, and it is found in the Unicode block for Arabic Extended-B, a range that accommodates various historical and scholarly notations for the Arabic script, including those used in Quranic recitation or ancient manuscripts. Its purpose is to provide precise control over text rendering, allowing scribes or typesetters to indicate a lengthened or marked form of the connective stroke, though its usage is rare and largely restricted to academic or liturgical contexts.
