Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+089E "࢞" Arabic Doubled Madda is a specialized diacritical mark used in Arabic script to indicate a prolonged or doubled glottal stop, functioning as a variant or intensification of the standard madda sign. It appears above the Arabic letter alef to denote the extended pronunciation of the hamza sound in specific orthographic contexts, particularly in Quranic or classical texts where precise vocalization is required. While not common in modern standard Arabic, this character ensures accurate rendering of certain recitation styles by signaling a distinctly longer madda vowel.
