U+08C9 "" Arabic Small Farsi Yeh is a diacritical mark used in certain Arabic-script orthographies, primarily for languages like Sindhi or other regional languages influenced by Persian calligraphy, to represent a short or reduced form of the vowel "yeh" sound. Unlike the full Farsi Yeh letter, this small version is written as a superscript or inline marker to indicate a specific phonetic nuance, such as a shortened or unstressed /iː/ or /eː/ vowel, often in the context of vowel harmony or grammatical endings. It belongs to the Arabic Extended-A block and is not commonly used in standard Arabic, but appears in specialized religious or scholarly texts where precise vocalization is required.
