U+065E "ٞ" Arabic Fatha with Two Dots Unicode Character

U+065E "ٞ" Arabic Fatha with Two Dots is a diacritical mark used in the Arabic script, specifically within the Quranic orthography and certain scholarly texts to indicate a variant pronunciation or a specific grammatical nuance. It appears as a small, slanted fatha sign with two dots placed above it, serving to modify the inherent short vowel "a" sound. This mark is not employed in standard modern Arabic writing but is utilized in specialized contexts, such as in the notation of the Quran where it can denote a prolonged or heavy articulation of the fatha vowel, often in relation to the rules of tajweed or recitation.
