U+08E7 "ࣧ" Arabic Curly Fathatan Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+08E7 "ࣧ" Arabic Curly Fathatan is a diacritical mark used in Arabic script, specifically as a variant of the standard Fathatan (double fatha) that denotes the indefinite accusative case or adverbial ending in Arabic orthography. Its distinctive feature is the curly, looping shape of the two superscript strokes, which differs from the straight or angled forms typically found in standard Arabic text, and it is encoded in the Unicode standard as part of the Arabic Extended-A block for specialized or pedagogical writing systems. This character is primarily employed in certain Quranic or classical texts to represent a precise vocalization or stylistic preference, ensuring accurate pronunciation and grammatical function in contexts where traditional diacritics may vary.
