U+FE74 "" Arabic Kasratan Isolated Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FE74 "" Arabic Kasratan Isolated Form is a presentation form used in Arabic script to represent the kasratan diacritic, which indicates the nominative case with a double kasra (a short vowel sound /i/ followed by an unwritten nunation) in certain contexts where text is rendered in an isolated, self-standing manner rather than connected to surrounding letters. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, designed for compatibility with legacy encoding systems, and it appears as a small, horizontal wavy stroke placed above a baseline position, typically used in Quranic or formal orthography to correctly display the tanwin (nunation) marker when a word stands alone in isolation. It is distinct from the combining kasratan (U+064D) as it occupies its own character cell for visual alignment in specialized typographic settings.
