U+10EFD "𐻽" Arabic Small Low Word Sakta Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐻽
U+10EFD "𐻽" Arabic Small Low Word Sakta is a specialized diacritical mark used in certain Arabic script contexts, notably in the Quranic orthography of the Uyghur language, to indicate a brief pause or stop in recitation without breaking the word. It represents a silent break, often placed below the letter, and its name "Sakta" reflects its function of signaling a momentary silence that differs from a full stop or comma. This character is part of the Arabic Extended-C block and was added to Unicode to support liturgical or phonetic notations where precise pause marking is essential for correct pronunciation and meaning.
