U+FB97 "ﮗ" Arabic Letter Gueh Final Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+FB97 "ﮗ" Arabic Letter Gueh Final Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter gueh, which is used primarily in certain Central Asian and South Asian languages such as Urdu, Kashmiri, and others, to represent a voiced velar or palatal sound similar to a hard "g" as in "go". This specific character is designed for use in a typographic context as the final form of the letter, meaning it appears when the letter is at the end of a word or in an isolated position, and it features a distinctive looping tail that connects to preceding letters in cursive Arabic script. Unlike the basic character U+06AF "گ", which has several contextual shapes, the final form encoded at U+FB97 is a precomposed glyph intended to ensure correct rendering in legacy systems that do not support full Arabic shaping, though modern text processing typically relies on the unified Arabic block for such contextual shaping.
