U+FB7D "ﭽ" Arabic Letter Tcheh Medial Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﭽ
U+FB7D "ﭽ" Arabic Letter Tcheh Medial Form is a presentation form of the Arabic character "چ" (tcheh), which represents a "ch" sound as in "church" and is used in languages like Persian, Urdu, and Pashto. This specific glyph is designed for the medial position within a word, meaning it appears when the letter is connected to both a preceding and a following character in cursive Arabic script. It serves a purely typographic purpose, providing a correctly shaped variant for text rendering and ensuring seamless joining in bidirectional writing systems, rather than representing a distinct semantic or phonetic value separate from its isolated form.
