Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+08F2 "ࣲ" Arabic Open Kasratan is a diacritical mark used in the Arabic script to indicate a specific type of grammatical inflection or vowelization, representing an open variant of the kasratan, which is a double kasra (a short /i/ vowel) with a nunation ending that typically signals the indefinite accusative case in Arabic grammar. Unlike the standard kasratan, which is written as two stacked diagonal strokes below a letter, this open kasratan is distinguished by a small, open, upward facing curve or hook shape placed beneath the base character, and it appears in certain Quranic or scholarly text editions to denote a more precise or phonetically open pronunciation of the vowel sound in classical and liturgical contexts.
