U+066A "٪" Arabic Percent Sign Unicode Character

U+066A "٪" Arabic Percent Sign is a typographic symbol used primarily in Arabic script contexts to denote percentages, functionally equivalent to the standard percent sign (%) but designed to harmonize with the visual flow and calligraphic style of Arabic writing. It features a distinct design where the two small circles or loops are typically placed on the left side of a slanted line, reflecting the right to left directionality of Arabic text. This character is encoded in the Unicode Standard as a dedicated Arabic punctuation mark, ensuring that documents and interfaces in Arabic can display the percentage symbol in a culturally and orthographically appropriate manner without relying on the Latin percent sign.
