U+074A "݊" Syriac Barrekh is a diacritical mark used in the Syriac script, specifically within the Eastern Syriac tradition, where it appears as a dot or small mark placed above or below a letter to modify its pronunciation, often indicating a softer or spirantized articulation of certain consonants. It is part of the Syriac block in Unicode, encoded for digital text representation to preserve the precise phonological and liturgical details of Classical Syriac and its modern liturgical use, particularly in the East Syriac dialect associated with the Church of the East and the Chaldean Catholic Church.
