Arabic Small Kasra Letter Meaning
Arabic Small Kasra (ؚ) is a diacritic character in the Arabic script. In Unicode it is identified as ARABIC SMALL KASRA (U+061A). Like other Arabic vowel marks, it indicates how the preceding consonant is pronounced by adding a short “kasra” sound (a short i-like vowel) depending on the spelling and orthographic context. In plain text it’s typically used alongside Arabic letters that receive the vowel marking. In typography and digital writing, you may also see it when properly vocalized text, educational materials, or accessibility/transliteration workflows require consistent diacritics rather than approximations.
