U+FB71 "ﭱ" Arabic Letter Peheh Medial Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FB71 "ﭱ" Arabic Letter Peheh Medial Form is a presentation form glyph used in the Arabic script to represent the medial position of a modified Persian letter "peheh," which is essentially the Arabic letter "feh" with three dots instead of one, used in languages such as Persian, Urdu, and Pashto. This specific character belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which encodes contextual positional variants of letters to support proper typographic shaping. The medial form appears when the letter is connected to preceding and following characters within a word, ensuring seamless cursive flow. It is important to note that this character is a compatibility or presentation form, meaning it is primarily intended for use in legacy text or environments that require explicit positional rendering, while modern Unicode implementations typically rely on the standard Arabic script and shaping algorithms to automatically produce the correct glyph form.
