U+0742 "݂" Syriac Rukkakha is a diacritical mark used in the Syriac script, specifically an overline or line above a base consonant to indicate a soft or spirantized pronunciation, commonly applied in Syriac grammar to denote the *rukkakha* phonetic feature. This symbol is part of the Syriac block in Unicode and is typically placed above letters such as Beth, Daleth, or Kaph to signal their fricative forms, as opposed to the plosive sounds indicated by the *quššāyā* diacritic.
