The verse number in a symbol is written at the end of each verse. This symbol is ۝, end of Ayah. Its Unicode number is U+06DD and ۝۝۝۝ also denotes the end of a sura.

There are two types of Ayah, 1- Ayah having order in it is ("Mohkumaat") and 2-("mutashabihaat") meaning resembling ayats. The word mutashabeh means similar.
