arabic curly dammatan

Arabic Curly Dammatan

72/95

ࣨ marks a Rohingya Fonna vowel; “oun” is the Latin-letter label for its value. Fonna is an Arabic-based way to write Rohingya, and this is a separate vowel sign, not ordinary Arabic dammatan in curly type.

Text symbol

What ࣨ means

It marks a distinct Rohingya vowel. Fonna uses curly fatha, damma and kasra (Arabic short-vowel signs), alongside separate tanween signs. A 2010 proposal documents ࣨ in Rohingya reading books, where it can replace the Arabic letter ن for the n sound.

A specialized vowel sign in Rohingya Fonna.

Replacing it with ٌ changes the spelling and vowel value.
