Source: Browser Default
U+0883 "ࢃ" Arabic Tatweel with Overstruck Hamza is a specialized typographic mark used in Arabic script, primarily for extending the shape of a character (like a standard tatweel or kashida) while incorporating a hamza symbol positioned over the elongation stroke. This character is not a regular letter but rather a diacritic-like extension used in certain historical or calligraphic contexts to indicate a glottal stop or to represent a specific phonetic nuance within decorative or traditional writing. It belongs to the Arabic Extended-B block, which was added to the Unicode Standard to support less common variants and orthographic features of the Arabic script.
