U+06E2 "ۢ" Arabic Small High Meem Isolated Form is a diacritical mark used in the Arabic script, specifically in the Quranic orthography known as ʾIʿrāb. It appears as a small meem placed above a base letter, functioning as a phonetic indicator to specify the pronunciation of a consonant, particularly in the context of nasalization or prolongation during recitation. Unlike the regular meem, this isolated form is not a full letter but a superscript glyph that modifies the sound of the character it accompanies, often denoting a subtle nasal quality in classical Arabic reading traditions.
