U+FB79 "ﭹ" Arabic Letter Nyeh Medial Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FB79 "ﭹ" Arabic Letter Nyeh Medial Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter Nyeh, specifically designed to be used in the middle of a word where it connects to both the preceding and following letters. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which encodes contextual glyph shapes for proper cursive rendering in text, and it represents the medial position of the letter that in its isolated form corresponds to U+06CE. It is used primarily in languages such as Kazakh and certain other Central Asian languages that employ a modified Arabic script to represent a voiced uvular nasal sound or a palatalized n sound. While modern Unicode rendering systems can automatically generate these positional forms from the base character, U+FB79 serves as a fixed encoding option for legacy systems or specialized typographic needs.
