U+06E1 "ۡ" Arabic Small High Dotless Head of Khah is a diacritical mark used in Arabic script to indicate the absence of a vowel sound, specifically functioning as a sukūn, which denotes that a consonant is not followed by a vowel. Its name refers to its visual resemblance to the upper part of the Arabic letter khah (خ) but without the dot, and it is typically placed above a base character in a small, elevated form. This mark is part of the Arabic Extended-A block and is employed in precise Quranic and scholarly texts where unambiguous phonetic notation is required.
