U+08F6 "ࣶ" Arabic Kasra with Dot Below Unicode Character

U+08F6 "ࣶ" Arabic Kasra with Dot Below is a combining diacritical mark used in extended Arabic script traditions, specifically within certain Quranic or scholarly contexts, to modify the pronunciation of a consonant by indicating a short /i/ vowel, or kasra, while the dot below the sign adds an additional phonetic nuance, often reflecting a regional or historical variant of recitation. This character is part of the Arabic Extended-A block and is not typically used in modern standard Arabic but appears in specialized religious texts where precise vocalization is required to preserve traditional oral readings. As a combining mark, it is positioned beneath the base letter it modifies, working in conjunction with other diacritics to ensure accurate and faithful reproduction of the intended sound.
