U+08DF Arabic Small High Word Waqfa

Die Wikipedia hat die folgende Information zu diesem Codepunkt:

The Qur'an (lit. recitation) is meant to be recited. Its verses are divided according to the rhythm of the language. The Qur'anic punctuation is, therefore, not only based on the structure or the syntax of the sentence, but also on the need to pause, for breath or for effect. Pickthall observes, when a certain sound which marks the rhythm recurs, there is a strong pause and the verse ends naturally, although the sentence may go on to the next verse. Thus the Qur'anic punctuation affects the pronunciation of the words, rhythm, intonation and syllable separation.
