What ࣩ means
In Rohingya Fonna, it marks a vowel with an n-like ending.
Rohingya Fonna is a way to write Rohingya with Arabic letters. A 2010 Unicode proposal describes its curly vowel signs as distinct spelling signs, not decorative forms of ordinary Arabic vowels. It presents this tanween sign as a compact alternative to writing the Arabic letter nūn (ن), the letter for n, in full.
How do I type Arabic curly kasratan?
Enter U08E9 after the letter it modifies.
The mark is nonspacing, so a standalone Arabic curly kasratan has no base letter to attach to. In a Unicode-aware editor, enter U08E9 after the intended letter; in HTML, use ࣩ after the base character.
Why does Arabic curly kasratan render differently?
Font coverage and Arabic shaping affect the display.
A missing-glyph box means the active font or its fallback lacks the character. When several Arabic marks share one base letter, shaping implementations can place their visible stack in different orders even though the underlying text is the same.
