U+FBB0 "ﮰ" Arabic Letter Yeh Barree with Hamza Above Isolated Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+FBB0 "ﮰ" Arabic Letter Yeh Barree with Hamza Above Isolated Form is a specialized glyph used in the Arabic script, representing the isolated form of the letter Yeh Barree (also known as Yeh with a tail or Yeh barree) combined with a hamza (glottal stop marker) placed above it. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block and is primarily employed in certain writing systems or orthographies for languages such as Urdu, Kashmiri, or other South Asian languages that extend the Arabic script, where it denotes a distinct phonetic value, often a long vowel sound or a specific consonant-vowel combination, particularly in contexts where the hamza indicates a glottal or emphatic articulation. Its isolated form means it appears on its own without connecting to adjacent letters, making it useful in certain typographic or calligraphic settings to represent the letter in word-initial or standalone positions.
