U+06E6 "ۦ" Arabic Small Yeh Unicode Character

U+06E6 "ۦ" Arabic Small Yeh is a diacritical mark used in the Arabic script, primarily in the Quranic orthography of the Uthmanic tradition, where it functions as an abbreviation marker. It typically appears above a letter to indicate the word "Yā" (يا) in the context of "Bismillah" and similar formulas, serving as a shorthand for the letter Yeh in certain codices. Unlike full Arabic letters, this character is a small subscript or superscript form, and its use is largely confined to religious and historical texts rather than modern standard Arabic writing.
