Unicode Version 17.0

U+FB7B "ﭻ" Arabic Letter Tcheh Final Form is a presentation form variant of the Arabic letter tcheh, specifically shaped to appear at the end of a word when written in a cursive script. This character belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which includes ligatures and contextual positioning forms that support the complex shaping rules of Arabic calligraphy. The tcheh letter itself is a modified version of the standard Arabic "che", distinguished by three dots above or below, and is used in several languages including Urdu, Kashmiri, and some African languages to represent a voiceless postalveolar affricate sound similar to the "ch" in English "church". In its final form, the character features a long, tail-like stroke that extends to the left, connecting to the preceding letter while marking the end of the word unit.
