U+08FB "" Arabic Double Right Arrowhead Above is a combining diacritical mark used in the Arabic script, specifically designed for certain extended Arabic or Quranic orthographies. It appears as two small right-pointing arrowheads placed above a base Arabic letter, functioning as a phonetic or vowel sign to indicate a specific pronunciation or articulatory feature, such as a long vowel or a glide. This character is part of the Arabic Extended-A block, which includes additional marks for transcription of languages like African Arabic dialects or for historical and religious textual accuracy. Its usage is highly specialized and uncommon in standard Arabic writing, primarily found in scholarly or liturgical contexts where precise phonetic notation is required.
