U+FB9D "ﮝ" Arabic Letter Ngoeh Medial Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﮝ
U+FB9D "ﮝ" Arabic Letter Ngoeh Medial Form is a presentation form of the Arabic script, specifically a contextual variant of the letter "Ngoeh" (used primarily for the Sindhi and other South Asian languages that employ the Arabic script to represent the retroflex nasal sound /ɳ/). It appears only in the medial position within a word, connecting to both the preceding and following letters as part of a cursive Arabic text. This character is encoded in the "Arabic Presentation Forms-A" block of Unicode, which contains precomposed glyphs for automatic or manual text shaping, and it should not be used for general text storage, serving instead as a typographic convenience for rendering specific word forms.
