U+FB76 "ﭶ" Arabic Letter Nyeh Isolated Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﭶ
U+FB76 "ﭶ" Arabic Letter Nyeh Isolated Form is a presentation form of the extended Arabic letter "Nyeh," used primarily in the Urdu script and related South Asian languages such as Punjabi and Kashmiri. It represents the palatal nasal consonant sound /ɲ/ (similar to the "ny" in "canyon"), and the "Isolated Form" designation indicates that this specific codepoint encodes the glyph as it appears when the letter stands alone, separate from any adjacent characters. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which was added to Unicode to support legacy text display and serves as a compatibility variant for systems that historically lacked dynamic shaping for complex script rendering.
