Arabic Mathematical Qaf

18/143

𞸒 is the Arabic letter qaf in a mathematical form. In Arabic geometry, qaf can stand for a circle’s diameter; in another formula it may name something else. Its math-specific style can carry meaning, so it is more than a font flourish.

Text symbol

What 𞸒 means

It is qaf in mathematical notation. One Arabic school-geometry convention uses the ordinary letter ق for قطر (diameter); 𞸒 is the mathematical qaf, but the equation decides whether that meaning fits. The wider family of Arabic-letter symbols also appears in Persian mathematical writing. This style family comes from Arabic letter forms used in manuscripts and traditional print over many centuries. Its styles are separate characters because they can distinguish mathematical roles.

Why does 𞸒 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
