U+0657 "ٗ" Arabic Inverted Damma Unicode Character

U+0657 "ٗ" Arabic Inverted Damma is a diacritical mark used in the Arabic script to indicate a specific phonetic variant of the short vowel /u/, typically representing a more rounded or back quality than the standard damma. It appears as a small, inverted teardrop or comma-shaped glyph placed above a base letter, and it is employed in certain scholarly texts, Quranic recitation notations, and regional orthographic conventions to clarify vowel pronunciation or distinguish between similar-sounding words. Unlike the regular damma, this inverted form is less common and is considered a specialized mark for advanced or precise vocalization.
