Arabic Mathematical Ghain

27/143

To enter 𞸛 as an HTML entity, write 𞸛; it is the Arabic letter ghain (also transliterated ghayn) in mathematical notation. The surrounding formula sets its role, and a normalization pass can strip its mathematical styling.

What 𞸛 means

Use the hexadecimal HTML/XML character reference 𞸛.

What does mathematical ghain mean?

It is Arabic ghain in math form; the formula gives it a role. On its own, it names no fixed number or operation; a formula may use it as a variable or another letter. Arabic-script mathematical lettering appears in manuscripts and traditional print over many centuries, providing local forms for writing formulas. In mathematical notation, letter style can distinguish roles within the same expression. Arabic and Persian traditions are not visually identical: Eastern (Mashriq) and North African (Maghreb) styles vary in function letters, numerals, and decimal marks.

Technical and mathematical: it belongs in a formula, not ordinary Arabic prose.

Replacing it with غ can erase a mathematical distinction.

Why did 𞸛 turn into غ after text cleanup?

NFKC or NFKD compatibility normalization changes it to ordinary غ through its compatibility mapping. That erases the mathematical style distinction, so preserve 𞸛 when the distinction matters.
