U+FB6E "ﭮ" Arabic Letter Peheh Isolated Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FB6E "ﭮ" Arabic Letter Peheh Isolated Form is a presentation form variant of the Arabic letter "peheh," which represents the sound /p/ in languages that use the Perso-Arabic script, such as Urdu, Pashto, and Kashmiri. This particular glyph belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block and is designed for use in isolated position within a word, where it stands alone without connecting to adjacent characters on either side. It is typically employed in sophisticated typesetting contexts, such as for Quranic or calligraphic text, to ensure proper visual rendering in systems that require precomposed forms. The character originates from the basic Arabic letter "beh" (ب) but is distinguished by three dots below the base form instead of one, reflecting the adapted orthography for non-Arabic phonemes.
