U+06D5 "ە" Arabic Letter Ae Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ە
U+06D5 "ە" Arabic Letter Ae is a distinct letter in the Arabic script, primarily used in the Uyghur language to represent the vowel sound /e/ or /æ/. It is often referred to as "Yā' Hamza" or "Uyghur E" and appears in the final or isolated form of certain words, where it functions as a vowel rather than a consonant. This character differs from the standard Arabic letter "Heh" (U+0647) as it lacks the initial and medial forms, making it unique to the orthographies of languages like Uyghur and occasionally Kurdish. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures proper digital representation for writing systems that rely on this specific character.
