Unicode Version 17.0
ﭞ
U+FB5E "ﭞ" Arabic Letter Tteheh Isolated Form is a presentation form variant of the standard Arabic letter Teh (ت) used in certain writing systems, particularly for languages like Kashmiri or other South Asian languages that require distinct phonetic representation. This character represents the retroflex or emphatic version of the "t" sound, distinct from the standard Arabic "taa," and is employed in contexts where the letter appears in its isolated position without connecting to adjacent characters. It belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, a Unicode range designed to support typographic ligatures and context-specific shapes that enhance the visual accuracy of Arabic script in printed and digital texts.
