Arabic Diacritics Analyzer
Count, identify, and highlight Arabic harakat, tashkeel, vowel signs, and annotation marks without changing your original text.
Quick Answer: This Arabic diacritics analyzer finds each stored Arabic combining mark and reports its name, symbol, count, and share. It highlights marks in context and creates a removable preview for comparison. The original input remains unchanged, and all processing stays inside your browser.

How do you use the Arabic diacritics analyzer?
Paste or type Arabic text in the input box. The result updates after each change. Press Analyze Marks for a clear confirmation.
Use a short word, lesson, article, or copied passage. Preserve your trusted source separately.

The highlighted view makes small combining marks easier to find. The preview removes recognized Arabic marks from a copy. It does not edit the input.
How does an Arabic diacritics analyzer work?
Arabic diacritics are usually stored as combining Unicode characters after a base letter. They can include short vowels, doubled-consonant signs, absence-of-vowel signs, and annotation marks.
The analyzer reads every Unicode code point in the entered string. It matches recognized Arabic marks, counts each form, and keeps the original order for highlighting and preview generation.
What are harakat and tashkeel?
Harakat commonly refers to vowel and related pronunciation signs, such as Fatha, Damma, and Kasra. Tashkeel is a broader everyday term for Arabic vocalization marks.
Usage can vary by teaching tradition and context. This tool reports Unicode character names and practical English labels. It does not decide pronunciation from grammar.
Why are highlighted marks larger?
Combining marks can be hard to select or see alone. The highlighted view wraps each detected mark in a colored element. It slightly enlarges the mark for inspection.
This display is diagnostic only. It does not show ideal typography or reproduce every font’s placement. Check the original line for normal reading.
What methodology does Arabic diacritic analysis use?
The tool recognizes common Arabic combining marks in U+0610 through U+061A, U+064B through U+065F, U+0670, and U+06D6 through U+06ED. It also includes Arabic Extended-A combining marks.
Named rows cover common marks individually. Other detected marks are grouped as Quranic or extended annotation marks. The tool preserves every base letter, number, space, and punctuation mark in the preview.
| Item | Rule | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Common harakat | Counted by exact code point | Each sign receives a transparent total. |
| Shadda with a vowel | Each stored mark counts once | Two code points represent two marks. |
| Quranic annotations | Detected and grouped when unnamed | The ranges contain many specialist signs. |
| Base Arabic letters | Preserved | Removing marks must not remove letters. |
| Tatweel | Preserved | Tatweel is not a combining diacritic. |
| Original input | Never overwritten | The comparison must remain reversible. |
The analyzer does not apply Unicode normalization before counting. Two visually similar strings can have different stored sequences. Use a Unicode inspector for code-point-level investigation.
What does a detailed Arabic diacritics example show?
Consider سَلَام. The stored text contains two Fatha marks. Each Fatha follows its base letter and receives its own count.
The analyzer reports two total diacritics and one unique mark type. The preview becomes سلام. All four base letters remain.
| Result | Value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Total marks | 2 | Two Fatha code points are stored. |
| Unique mark types | 1 | Both marks have the same code point. |
| Original | سَلَام | Letters and Fatha signs remain visible. |
| Preview | سلام | Only recognized marks are removed. |
Additional verified Arabic diacritics examples
مُ contains one Damma. مِ contains one Kasra. مْ contains one Sukun.
مّ contains one Shadda. A Shadda followed by Fatha contains two stored marks. The analyzer lists both.
كِتَابٌ contains Kasra, Fatha, and Dammatan. It has three detected marks and three mark types.
How should you interpret Arabic diacritic results?
Total marks describe stored code points, not spoken syllables. Unique types show how many different mark forms occur. Share shows each mark’s portion of the detected total.
A text with no detected marks may be intentionally unvocalized. A fully vocalized lesson can have many marks. Neither result alone measures writing quality.
How should the no-diacritics preview be used?
The preview helps editors compare vocalized and unvocalized forms. Copy it only when the task clearly requires mark removal. Keep the source unchanged for verification.
Removing marks can merge written forms that readers distinguish through context. It can also damage specialist text. Review the output word by word.
Which Arabic vowel marks does the analyzer identify?
| Mark | English name | Code point | General function |
|---|---|---|---|
| َ | Fatha | U+064E | Short a-related vowel sign |
| ُ | Damma | U+064F | Short u-related vowel sign |
| ِ | Kasra | U+0650 | Short i-related vowel sign |
| ْ | Sukun | U+0652 | Absence of a following short vowel |
| ّ | Shadda | U+0651 | Consonant doubling sign |
| ً | Fathatan | U+064B | Fatha tanween sign |
| ٌ | Dammatan | U+064C | Damma tanween sign |
| ٍ | Kasratan | U+064D | Kasra tanween sign |
| ٰ | Superscript Alif | U+0670 | Small Alif mark |
What common Arabic diacritics analysis mistakes should you avoid?
Counting visible shapes instead of code points
A letter and mark can look like one unit but remain two stored values. Use the mark breakdown for technical counts.
Removing marks from the only copy
Always keep a trusted original. The preview is reversible only while the unchanged input still exists.
Treating Tatweel as a diacritic
Tatweel stretches joining behavior and is not a combining vowel mark. This analyzer preserves it.
Assuming every mark is optional
Marks can carry important reading, educational, editorial, or textual information. Context determines whether removal is safe.
Using the count as a pronunciation checker
The tool identifies stored marks. It does not parse grammar or confirm that the vocalization is linguistically correct.
What limitations and safety issues affect diacritic analysis?
The Arabic script contains many specialist annotation signs. Fonts and browser versions may display them differently. Some marks may appear displaced even when the code point is valid.
Unicode normalization can change the order or composition of marks. OCR can insert unexpected characters. This page reports the entered sequence without repairing it.
For Quranic text, use a verified edition and qualified review. Do not treat this general tool as a Quranic proofreading system. Never replace an authoritative source with the generated preview.

Arabic diacritics analyzer FAQs
What Arabic marks does this analyzer count?
It counts common harakat, tanween, Shadda, Sukun, Superscript Alif, and many Quranic or extended combining marks.
Does the tool change my Arabic text?
No. The original input stays unchanged. Removal happens only in a separate preview.
Are Shadda and a vowel counted separately?
Yes. When both are stored, each code point counts as one mark.
Is Tatweel removed from the preview?
No. Tatweel is not treated as a combining diacritic and remains in the preview.
Can I analyze Quranic text?
You can inspect technical marks, but use a verified Quranic edition and qualified review for authoritative work.
Why do marks look misplaced?
Font support, mark order, and highlighting can affect placement. Check the original in a suitable Arabic font.
Is my text uploaded or saved?
No. The analyzer runs locally and does not require an API.
Can I export the mark analysis?
Yes. Copy results or download CSV, JSON, and image files. Printing is also supported.
