U+FBAE "ﮮ" Arabic Letter Yeh Barree Isolated Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﮮ
U+FBAE "ﮮ" Arabic Letter Yeh Barree Isolated Form is a typographic variant of the Arabic letter Yeh, specifically designed for use in the Uighur language and other Central Asian scripts where it represents a front vowel sound, distinct from the standard Arabic Yeh. This isolated form appears as a standalone glyph with a distinctive curled or looped tail, and it is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which contains contextual shapes for compatibility with legacy encoding systems. Its purpose is to enable correct rendering in digital text when the character appears alone without connecting to adjacent letters, preserving the linguistic accuracy required for proper Uighur orthography.
