U+FB5B "ﭛ" Arabic Letter Beheh Final Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FB5B "ﭛ" Arabic Letter Beheh Final Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter "Beheh," which is a variant of the letter Beh used primarily in the Sindhi language and other South Asian scripts written in the Arabic alphabet. This particular form is used specifically when the letter appears at the end of a word, connecting only from the right side to the preceding character in a cursive script. It features a distinctive shape with three dots placed below the baseline, distinguishing it from the standard Arabic Beh and reflecting its phonetic role in representing a specific sound not found in Arabic itself. As a compatibility character in the Unicode standard, it exists primarily to preserve the visual layout of legacy text and is generally recommended to be used only when precise rendering or text processing systems require these explicit positional variants.
