Hadeeth literature, and other Islamic religion-related literature use
many different kinds of marks for markings. Perhaps they can be unified...
There should be two or three other symbols used for these purposes inside
Iran, e.g., a SUBSCRIPT ALEF.
But to answer you, yes, in recent versions of these texts, the symbols are
used (not to forget the texts that teach how to read Qur'an).
