U+FB92 "ﮒ" Arabic Letter Gaf Isolated Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FB92 "ﮒ" Arabic Letter Gaf Isolated Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter Gaf, which represents a "g" sound and is used in various languages written with the Arabic script, such as Persian, Urdu, and Kurdish. This specific isolated form appears when the letter stands alone, as at the beginning of a word or in isolation, and is part of the Unicode Arabic Presentation Forms-A block designed for contextual glyph shaping. It differs from the standard Arabic letter Kaf (ك) by having an additional stroke, typically a small horizontal line or loop above the main body. In digital text, U+FB92 is used primarily for legacy compatibility, as modern Arabic fonts can produce the correct isolated form from the basic character U+06AF without needing this presentation form.
