“܈” U+0708: Syriac Supralinear Colon Skewed Left

ℹ️ About

The Syriac Supralinear Colon Skewed Left (U+0708) is a liturgical punctuation mark used in the Syriac script. Unlike base-line punctuation, “supralinear” indicates that this mark is intended to appear above the line of text, serving as a grammatical or cantillation guide. Technically, it carries the Arabic Letter (AL) bidirectional class, ensuring correct placement in Right-to-Left (RTL) environments common to Aramaic languages.
