U+0609 Arabic-Indic Per Mille Sign

U+0609 was added in Unicode version 5.1 in 2008. It belongs to the block U+0600 to U+06FF Arabic in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Other Punctuation and is mainly used in the Arabic script.

The glyph is not a composition. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it is written as end of a European number, e.g., a currency symbol, from left to right. When changing direction it is not mirrored. U+0609 prohibits a line break before it, if it follows a number. The glyph can be confused with one other glyph.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

The phrase per mille (from Latin per mīlle 'in each thousand') indicates parts per thousand. The associated symbol is ‰, similar to a per cent sign % but with an extra zero in the divisor.

Major dictionaries do not agree on the spelling, giving other options of per mil, per mill, permil, permill, permille.

The word promille is the cognate in Dutch, German, Finnish and Swedish, and is sometimes seen as a loanword in English with the same meaning as per mille.
