U+FBA7 "ﮧ" Arabic Letter Heh Goal Final Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FBA7 "ﮧ" Arabic Letter Heh Goal Final Form is a presentation form variant of the standard Arabic letter "heh" (ه), designed specifically for use in calligraphic and typographic contexts where the traditional Nastaʿlīq or Persian script style is employed. This glyph represents the final form of the letter, meaning it appears when the letter occurs at the end of a word, and it features a distinct, often elongated or looped tail that extends below the baseline, distinguishing it from the isolated or medial forms. Its primary purpose is to ensure correct visual rendering and stylistic consistency in texts that require precise script shaping, particularly in languages like Persian, Urdu, and Ottoman Turkish, where the letter "heh" may take this alternate shape to achieve the desired cursive flow.
