YEZIDI COMBINING HAMZA MARK is a nonspacing combining mark (zero advance width) from the Supplementary Multilingual Plane.

The bidi class of YEZIDI COMBINING HAMZA MARK 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 Yezidi block. The Yezidi script is the traditional writing system used by the Yezidi people, a religious minority based primarily in Iraq and parts of Syria. The script was revived in the 21st century after being out of use for several centuries, with most Yezidi texts historically written in Arabic. The Yezidi script has a rich cultural and religious significance, and its inclusion in Unicode is part of broader efforts to preserve Yezidi heritage, especially after years of persecution and displacement of the Yezidi population. Having the Yezidi script in Unicode allows for the digital transcription of religious texts, folklore, and historical records, helping to ensure that the Yezidi culture is not lost. This is particularly important for future generations of Yezidis, many of whom have grown up in diaspora communities and are seeking to reconnect with their linguistic and cultural roots..
