U+08F1 "ࣱ" Arabic Open Dammatan Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ࣱ
U+08F1 "ࣱ" Arabic Open Dammatan is a diacritical mark used in the Arabic script to represent a specific type of nunation, indicating an indefinite nominative case ending with a short vowel sound "un" but rendered in an open or empty form, meaning it appears as two small oblique marks above the letter rather than the more common filled or closed variant. This character is part of the Arabic Extended-A block and is employed in certain Quranic or pedagogical texts to denote precise pronunciation or grammatical nuances, distinguishing it from the standard Arabic dammatan by its unshaded or hollow design.
