U+08E8 "" Arabic Curly Dammatan is a diacritical mark used in the Arabic script, specifically representing a curly variant of the dammatan which indicates a nominative indefinite nunation, typically pronounced as /un/ in Classical Arabic. This character is part of the Arabic Extended-A block and serves to denote a grammatical ending for indefinite nouns or adjectives in certain Quranic and instructional texts, where the curly form differentiates it from the standard round dammatan. Its use is primarily orthographic, aiding in precise recitation and linguistic clarity in historical or pedagogical contexts, though it is less common in modern standard Arabic typography.
