U+FE76 "ﹶ" Arabic Fatha Isolated Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﹶ
U+FE76 "ﹶ" Arabic Fatha Isolated Form is a typographic variant of the Arabic diacritical mark fatha, which represents the short vowel sound "a" and is used in Arabic script to indicate pronunciation. Unlike the standard fatha, which is typically written as a small diagonal stroke above a letter, this isolated form is designed to appear on its own without a base character, often for display or teaching purposes in contexts where the vowel sign needs to be shown separately. It belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, a range of Unicode characters created to support special glyph shapes required for certain text rendering and calligraphic styles.
