It's clearly a character then. It definitely makes sense in an Iranian
context from the viewpoint of the Persian use of Arabic script.
BTW does it represent /u:/ or /u/? In the Qur'an, /u:/ would probably
represented by Waw and would be read by a Persian as /u/, wouldn't it?
While damma would be read as /o/. Could you point me to a location in
an Iranian Qur'an where there is one of these?
