Source: Browser Default
U+08E2 "" Arabic Disputed End of Ayah is a specialized typographic mark used in Qur'anic manuscript traditions to indicate a potential or controversial verse boundary where scholars disagree on whether a particular point truly marks the end of a Qur'anic verse (ayah) within the Arabic script. It resembles a small, stylized circle or knot, often placed above the text, and serves as a critical editorial tool in religious and academic contexts to flag uncertainty in the canonical verse divisions without altering the established text itself. Unlike the standard end-of-ayah marker, this character explicitly denotes a point of scholarly dispute regarding the official count of verses in a given surah.
