Arabic Four Dots Below Symbol

108/631

﮻ is a standalone mark for four dots placed below an Arabic-script letter shape; by itself, it does not spell a letter or sound. In Arabic-script Sindhi, this dot pattern distinguishes letters, while the symbol displays it separately.

Text symbol

What ﮻ means

It shows the dot layout without spelling a letter.

It is a spacing symbol: the dots stand by themselves instead of attaching to a base letter.

In Arabic-script writing, added dots can distinguish letters that share a basic shape. In Sindhi written with Arabic letters, four dots beneath a letter form mark distinct letters; ﮻ shows that pattern without being one of those letters.

Technical notation for discussing Arabic-script letter forms.

It marks a dot arrangement; it does not spell a Sindhi letter on its own.

Why does ﮻ 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.
