U+FB68 "ﭨ" Arabic Letter Tteh Initial Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FB68 "ﭨ" Arabic Letter Tteh Initial Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter Tteh, which represents a retroflex or emphatic "t" sound in languages like Urdu and Sindhi, and this specific glyph is designed to appear at the beginning of a word where it connects to the following character on its left. It is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, a legacy encoding segment originally included for compatibility with older text processing systems that required precomposed shapes for contextual letter forms. In modern Unicode text rendering, such characters are generally discouraged in favor of dynamic shaping using the base letter (U+067B ﭛ) and a shaping engine, but U+FB68 remains valid for use in certain specialized environments or plain text archives.
