U+FBD6 "ﯖ" Arabic Letter Ng Medial Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+FBD6 "ﯖ" Arabic Letter Ng Medial Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter "Ng" (often used for the sound /ŋ/ in languages like Uyghur or other Turkic and African languages written with the Arabic script) and is designed specifically for the medial position within a word, where it connects to both a preceding character on the right and a following character on the left. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which was added to Unicode primarily for compatibility with older text encoding standards and for precise typographic rendering. While its use is largely historical or specialized for Arabic script based orthographies, it represents a distinct ligature that allows the "Ng" sound to be written fluidly and connectedly in the middle of a word, distinguishing it from its initial, final, or isolated forms.
