Source: Browser Default
U+087C "ࡼ" Arabic Letter Alef with Right Middle Stroke and Dot Above is a specialized variant of the Arabic letter alef, included in the Unicode standard to support historical or orthographic needs for certain Arabic-script languages and manuscript traditions. This character features a distinctive right middle stroke extending from the letter's body, combined with a dot positioned above, which may indicate a specific phonetic nuance or diacritical mark used in Quranic recitation or in writing systems such as those for early Arabic or related languages. Its encoding allows for precise digital representation of texts that require this unique glyph, particularly in scholarly or religious contexts where standard alef forms are inadequate.
