Unicode Version 17.0

U+FB72 "ﭲ" Arabic Letter Dyeh Isolated Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter "ڈ" used primarily in the Urdu, Punjabi, and other South Asian languages that utilize the Perso-Arabic script. This specific glyph represents the isolated form of the letter, meaning it appears when the character stands alone without connecting to a preceding or following letter in a word. It is part of the Unicode Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which contains variant shapes of standard Arabic letters to support digital text rendering for complex calligraphic styles. The character is used to represent the retroflex D sound, which is distinct from the standard Arabic dental D, and is essential for accurate typography and reading comprehension in languages like Urdu.
