U+FB85 "ﮅ" Arabic Letter Dahal Final Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﮅ
U+FB85 "ﮅ" Arabic Letter Dahal Final Form is a presentation form variant used in the Arabic script, specifically representing the final position of the letter "dahal" when it appears at the end of a word. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block and is employed in advanced typographic contexts to ensure correct calligraphic shaping, as traditional Arabic writing relies on contextual letter forms based on position within a word. The dahal letter itself represents a voiced dental stop, similar to the English "d", and its final form in this encoding allows for precise digital rendering in systems that support such ligatures and positional glyphs.
