The Syriac Abbreviation Mark is a Unicode Control character (U+070F) that forms part of the Syriac script block. In Syriac, words are sometimes written in an abbreviated form, omitting some of the last letters. In such cases, a special overline is drawn over some of the final letters of the abbreviated word. Traditionally, this overline has a point at each edge and a point in the middle, but sometimes a plain overline was used. Another use of this overline is to mark numbers: in Syriac numbers are written using numerical values which are assigned to letters (similarly to the Gematria system in Hebrew). The sequence of letters used to write the number are also marked by the overline.

| - The Syriac Abbreviation Mark is a Unicode Control character (U+070F) that forms part of the Syriac script block. In Syriac, words are sometimes written in an abbreviated form, omitting some of the last letters. In such cases, a special overline is drawn over some of the final letters of the abbreviated word. Traditionally, this overline has a point at each edge and a point in the middle, but sometimes a plain overline was used. Another use of this overline is to mark numbers: in Syriac numbers are written using numerical values which are assigned to letters (similarly to the Gematria system in Hebrew). The sequence of letters used to write the number are also marked by the overline. To implement this special overline in Unicode, a special control character was conceived: the Syriac Abbreviation Mark (or SAM), described in section 9.3 of the Unicode Standard. It is inserted in the stream of characters just before the first letter which should be marked with the overline (visually, to the right of it, since Syriac is a right-to-left script). OpenType also has stch “feature tag” to pave the way of proper rendering. The rendering engine should put an overline on all subsequent Syriac script letters, until the first character which is not a Syriac letter or diacritic. However, several computer environments do not render this character correctly, but show rather a substitution glyph where it appears in the character stream. Here is an example containing the SAM, just after the Syriac letter Alaph (first letter to the right):ܐܒܓܕ The image below shows the correct way this should be rendered: (en)
- Il carattere di abbreviazione siriaco, in inglese: Syriac Abbreviation Mark (SAM), è un carattere di controllo utilizzato nella composizione tipografica computerizzata che, all'interno del sistema di codifica Unicode, fa parte della sezione dell'alfabeto siriaco ed è codificato come U+070F SYRIAC ABBREVIATION MARK. Nel sistema di scrittura siriaco, le parole sono scritte talvolta in forma abbreviata omettendo alcune delle ultime lettere e, in questi casi, viene disegnata una linea orizzontale su alcune delle lettere finali della parola abbreviata. Tradizionalmente, e soprattutto nei testi religiosi, questa linea ha un punto all'inizio, alla fine e al centro, anche se a volte è rappresentata come una semplice linea piatta. Un altro utilizzo di questa linea è quello di far valere il valore numerico di una lettera: in siriaco, infatti, i numeri sono scritti utilizzando lettere a cui vengono assegnati valori numerici (come accade ad esempio nel sistema Gematria in ebraico) e la sequenza di lettere utilizzata per scrivere un numero viene indicata proprio disegnando tale linea sopra di essa.
