U+FB8A "ﮊ" Arabic Letter Jeh Isolated Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+FB8A "ﮊ" Arabic Letter Jeh Isolated Form is a typographic variant of the standard Arabic letter "ژ" (Jeh), which itself is a modified form of the letter "ز" (zain) used primarily in Persian, Urdu, and other languages that have adopted the Arabic script to represent the voiced postalveolar fricative sound /ʒ/ (similar to the "s" in "measure"). In Unicode, this specific code point belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which encodes contextual positional forms (such as isolated, initial, medial, and final) to support aesthetic text rendering in certain legacy computer systems and fonts. The isolated form, as denoted by "U+FB8A", appears when the letter stands alone or is not connected to any adjacent characters, making it distinct from other presentation forms of Jeh like the initial or medial variants.
