U+FB8F "ﮏ" Arabic Letter Keheh Final Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﮏ
U+FB8F "ﮏ" Arabic Letter Keheh Final Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter keheh, which is used primarily in the Uighur language and other languages of Central Asia to represent a voiceless uvular plosive sound, similar to a hard "k" pronounced deep in the throat. This character belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block and represents the final (or isolated) positional variant of the letter, specifically designed for use at the end of a word or when standing alone to ensure proper cursive connection and legibility in Arabic script text rendering. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for correct typographic display of languages like Uighur, which require this distinct letter shape that differs from the standard Arabic kaf.
