U+08E4 "ࣤ" Arabic Curly Fatha Unicode Character

U+08E4 "ࣤ" Arabic Curly Fatha is a diacritical mark used in Arabic script to indicate a variant of the standard fatha vowel sign, distinguished by its curly or looped shape rather than the typical oblique stroke. It appears in certain extended Arabic orthographies, particularly in historical or religious texts, to denote a specific phonetic nuance or a non-standard pronunciation of the short vowel /a/. The character is classified in the Unicode standard under the Arabic Extended-A block, where it serves specialized scholarly and typographic purposes rather than everyday writing.
