U+06D9 "ۙ" Arabic Small High Lam Alef Unicode Character

U+06D9 "ۙ" Arabic Small High Lam Alef is a diacritical mark used in certain Arabic script contexts, particularly in the orthography of the Quran and classical Islamic texts, to indicate a specific pronunciation or vowel quality. It appears as a small, raised combination of the Arabic letters lam and alef, placed above or adjacent to a base character, and is often employed in pedagogical or phonetic transcriptions to clarify grammatical or recitational rules. This character is part of the Arabic block in Unicode and is distinct from standard letter forms, serving as a non-spacing mark that modifies the sound of the preceding letter without altering the baseline text layout.
