U+06D8 "ۘ" Arabic Small High Meem Initial Form is a diacritical mark used in certain Arabic script contexts, particularly in the orthography of the Quran and other religious texts, where it indicates a specific phonetic variation or a prolonged nasalization of the consonant meem when it appears at the beginning of a syllable. It is a small, superscript form of the Arabic letter meem, typically placed above the baseline to modify the pronunciation of the preceding or following letter without forming a full character in the text. This character is part of the Arabic block in Unicode and serves as a specialized notation for advanced recitation rules in Tajweed, ensuring precise articulation in liturgical reading.
