U0750U077F

U0750U077F is a Unicode character. Its official name is ARABIC LETTER ALEF WITH MADDA ABOVE. It falls within the Arabic script block in the Unicode standard. This character is used to represent the long vowel sound 'ā' when it is preceded by a glottal stop. It is formed by combining the Arabic letter Alef with the diacritical mark maddah, which indicates a lengthening of the vowel. The maddah symbol itself is placed above the Alef. U0750U077F is significant in the transliteration of Arabic words and in the representation of certain Arabic dialects. Its use is primarily in contexts where precise phonetic representation is required, such as in academic texts or dictionaries. The character is distinct from a simple Alef or an Alef with hamza.
