U+08EA "࣪" Arabic Tone One Dot Above Unicode Character

U+08EA "࣪" Arabic Tone One Dot Above is a combining diacritical mark used in extended Arabic script orthographies, particularly for notations in certain religious or pedagogical texts, such as those for Quranic recitation or other liturgical purposes. It appears as a small dot placed above a base Arabic letter, where it functions to indicate a specific tonal or prosodic feature, such as a pitch contour or a change in the recitation melody. This character is part of the Arabic Extended-B block and was introduced in Unicode version 6.1 to support advanced phonetic and tonal distinctions that go beyond the standard vowel markings and intonation signs.
