ARABIC SMALL LOW WORD QASR is a nonspacing combining mark (zero advance width) from the Supplementary Multilingual Plane.

The bidi class of ARABIC SMALL LOW WORD QASR is Nonspacing Mark (Weak). It belongs to the non-spacing marks, which take on the directionality of the characters to which they attach..

The Nonspacing Mark (NSM) bidi class is assigned to diacritical marks that do not occupy their own space but modify the preceding base character. NSMs are neutral in directionality but inherit the directionality of the base character they are attached to. They are essential for the accurate representation of characters with diacritics in bidirectional text.

Nonspacing Mark (Mn) refers to diacritical marks that do not occupy their own space but instead combine with a preceding base character to modify its sound or meaning. Nonspacing marks are essential in many scripts, including Latin, Arabic, and Devanagari, for accurate representation of text.

This character belongs to the Arabic Extended-C block. The Arabic Extended-C block adds characters that supplement the basic Arabic script, which is one of the most widely used writing systems in the world. Arabic script is used not only for writing the Arabic language but also for many other languages across Africa and Asia, including Persian, Urdu, Pashto, and others. The Extended-C block includes additional characters that are necessary for writing minority languages and dialects that use the Arabic script. These additions are critical for ensuring that all languages using the Arabic script can be accurately represented in digital form. This is particularly important for the preservation of minority languages, many of which are under threat of extinction. By including these characters in Unicode, the Arabic Extended-C block helps to ensure that these languages can continue to be written and shared in the digital age..
