Pause mark

The mechanic

A small seen printed above the line (U+06DC), instructing a brief break in sound without taking a breath, after which reading continues. The same character also appears in the mushaf as an alternate-letter mark over a sad, which is a different thing entirely.

A place in the text

ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنزَلَ عَلَىٰ عَبۡدِهِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَلَمۡ يَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ عِوَجَاۜ

The marked spot was located in this ayah's own text at build time — Al-Kahf 18:1.
