U+06E4 "ۤ" Arabic Small High Madda is a diacritical mark used in Arabic script, primarily to indicate a long vowel resulting from the elision of a glottal stop or to mark a prolonged pronunciation in certain Quranic and classical orthographic contexts. It appears as a small, wavy-like or tilde-shaped sign positioned above a base letter, distinct from the regular maddah (◌ٓ) in its smaller size and higher placement. This character is part of the Arabic Supplement block and is employed in specialized vocalization systems to ensure precise recitation and transcription of the Arabic language.
