ℹ️ About
The Arabic Letter Hamza (U+0621) represents the glottal stop [ʔ]. Unlike most Arabic letters, it is a non-connecting character that typically sits on the line when independent. It is a vital phonetic component used in Arabic, Persian, and Urdu. In Unicode, it belongs to the Arabic block and is categorized as an “Other Letter” (Lo).
⚠️ Note: Do not confuse with ﺀ (U+FE80), which is the presentation form specifically for an isolated Hamza.
