U+0655 "ٕ" Arabic Hamza Below is a combining diacritical mark used in the Arabic script to represent a glottal stop, or hamza, positioned beneath a letter rather than above it. This specific character is typically employed in certain orthographic traditions to adjust the pronunciation or grammatical function of a base character, particularly when indicating a hamza that follows a long vowel or when precise phonetic transcription is needed. It is not a standalone letter but rather modifies the character it combines with, playing a specific role in Quranic text and some formal Arabic writing systems to ensure accurate recitation and meaning.
