Unicode Version 17.0
࣐
U+08D0 "࣐" Arabic Sukun Below is a diacritical mark used in the Arabic script, specifically designed to be placed beneath a base letter to indicate the absence of a vowel sound, similar to the standard Arabic sukun mark but positioned below instead of above the character. This variant is part of the Arabic Extended-A block and is primarily utilized in certain Quranic orthographies or specialized Arabic orthographic traditions to provide clearer phonetic notation, particularly in contexts where distinguishing vowel absence from other marks above the letter is necessary for accurate recitation or scholarly transcription.
