U+FE7E "ﹾ" Arabic Sukun Isolated Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﹾ
U+FE7E "ﹾ" Arabic Sukun Isolated Form is a presentation form variant of the standard Arabic sukun diacritic, which is a small circular symbol indicating the absence of a vowel on a consonant in Arabic script. Unlike the regular sukun, this isolated form is designed to stand alone without attaching to a preceding or following base letter, fulfilling a specific glyph requirement for certain text rendering systems or calligraphic contexts. It belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block and is typically used in specialized typographic environments where precise positional control over diacritic placement is needed, rather than in standard modern Arabic writing.
