What ࣫ means
It marks a long falling tone on the vowel. This above form sits outside a vowel sign written above the consonant; when the vowel sign sits below, Rohingya uses the paired form ࣮. By 2010, Arabic-script writing for Rohingya had a history of more than 200 years. Rohingya Fonna carries that tradition forward with extra signs for sounds Arabic alone did not represent.
How should I read a word with it?
Read the vowel and its tone mark together. ࣫ marks tone, not the consonant. If its vowel sign is missing or the dots seem to sit on the consonant, check the full word: misplaced dots can look like consonant marking.
A technical spelling mark used to show tone in Rohingya Fonna.
Without its vowel sign, the dots can look like consonant marking.

1Is ࣫ a Quranic annotation?
No. It is a Rohingya tone mark. Unicode groups Quranic annotation signs separately, so similar placement does not make the marks interchangeable.
