U+0610 through U+0613 are symbols used to abbreviate pious
phrases. "may God's peace and blessing be upon him"
is the English translation of the Arabic phrase symbolized
by U+0610, given in roman form as "sallalahu alayhe wasallam".

Incidentally, in Urdu at least there some additional pious
phrase abbreviations of this type. Does anyone know if there
is a proposal for encoding them?
