U+FBA6 "ﮦ" Arabic Letter Heh Goal Isolated Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+FBA6 "ﮦ" Arabic Letter Heh Goal Isolated Form is a typographic variation of the Arabic letter “heh” (U+0647), specifically designed for the isolated position in writing systems that use the Perso-Arabic script. This character is known as the “goal” form and is primarily used in the Uyghur language and other Central Asian Turkic languages, where it represents a distinct sound or syllable boundary that differs from the standard Arabic “heh.” Its isolated shape features a tall, rounder loop and a more pronounced downward tail, helping to ensure clear distinction in text where letter forms must be unambiguous at the start or end of a word. The inclusion of this character in Unicode supports accurate digital representation of these languages, preserving their script’s visual and phonetic nuances.
