ℹ️ About
The Arabic Small High Word Sakta is a specialized nonspacing diacritic used in the Quranic script to indicate a “Sakta” — a brief pause in recitation without taking a breath. Technically, it is a combining mark (General Category: Mn) positioned above the base character, introduced in Unicode 9.0 to ensure precise digital representation of classical Arabic orthography.
⚠️ Note: Do not confuse with ۑ (High Sad) or standard pause marks.
