U+061B "؛" Arabic Semicolon is a punctuation mark used in the Arabic script to function similarly to the semicolon in Latin-based writing, indicating a pause or separation between independent clauses that are more closely related than a full stop would allow. Unlike the standard semicolon, its glyph is reversed, appearing as a comma placed above a dot, reflecting the right to left direction of Arabic text. It is encoded in the Unicode standard to support proper typographic representation in languages like Arabic, Persian, and Urdu, ensuring correct formatting and readability in digital environments.
