Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+066B "٫" Arabic Decimal Separator is a typographic symbol used in Arabic script to denote the decimal point in numbers, functioning similarly to the period or comma in other writing systems. Unlike the standard Latin decimal point or comma, this character is designed to align with the visual and calligraphic style of Arabic text, appearing as a small, slanted mark. It is encoded in the Unicode standard to support the proper representation of numerical data in languages such as Arabic, Persian, and Urdu, where it helps avoid confusion with other punctuation marks and maintains consistency in mathematical and financial contexts.
