U+06EA "۪" Arabic Empty Centre Low Stop Unicode Character

U+06EA "۪" Arabic Empty Centre Low Stop is a diacritical mark used in the Arabic script, specifically part of the Quranic annotation or phonetic notation system. It appears as a small, hollow circle positioned low and centered below a base letter, and its primary function is to indicate a very short, voiceless stop or a pause in recitation, often marking a place where the vocal cords momentarily close without producing sound. This sign is particularly employed in scholarly contexts to guide proper pronunciation during the oral recitation of the Quran, distinguishing subtle phonetic nuances that are essential for accurate delivery.
