U+FB81 "ﮁ" Arabic Letter Tcheheh Medial Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter tcheheh, which represents the "ch" sound as in "church" and is used in languages like Persian, Urdu, and Sindhi. This specific glyph appears when the letter is positioned in the middle of a word, linking seamlessly to preceding and following characters within the cursive Arabic script. It belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which exists primarily to support legacy text rendering and bidirectional display rather than for modern text encoding, where the standard letter should be used.
