Unicode Version 17.0
ﮇ
U+FB87 "ﮇ" Arabic Letter Dul Final Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter "د" (dal) used specifically in the Nasta'liq or Persian calligraphic style, representing the final position of the letter within a word when it connects from the right side. Unlike the standard isolated or initial forms, this variant features a long, sweeping tail angled gracefully to the left, which typographically distinguishes it in contexts where a more decorative or script-like appearance is desired, such as in Quranic texts, poetry, or traditional Urdu and Persian manuscripts.
