ℹ️ About

The Syriac Colon Skewed Left (U+0706) is a distinct punctuation mark used in Syriac literature to indicate rhetorical or grammatical pauses. Its “skewed” orientation is a vital stylistic feature that differentiates it from standard vertical colons. As an “Arabic Letter” (AL) bidirectional character, it natively supports Right-to-Left (RTL) text rendering requirements in the Syriac block.

⚠️ Note: Do not confuse with ܇ (U+0707, Skewed Right) or the standard colon :.
