About this character

U+0624 (ؤ) is ARABIC LETTER WAW WITH HAMZA ABOVE, a letter in the Arabic block. It belongs to the Arabic script. It was added in Unicode 1.1 (1993).

It is precomposed. Under NFD it decomposes into U+0648 و + U+0654 ◌ٔ, and NFC recombines that sequence into this single codepoint, so both spellings are canonically equivalent and should compare equal after normalization. See the normalization guide.

It is a strong right-to-left character (bidirectional class AL), so it sets the direction of the text around it. See bidirectional text.
