U+0650 "ِ" Arabic Kasra Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+0650 "ِ" Arabic Kasra is a diacritical mark used in the Arabic script to indicate the short vowel /i/, placed below the preceding consonant letter. It is an essential component of the Arabic orthographic system, particularly in vocalized texts such as the Quran, children's books, and language learning materials, where it clarifies pronunciation and grammatical function. Without this mark, many Arabic words would appear ambiguous to readers, as short vowels are typically omitted in standard modern writing.
