U+FBD7 "ﯗ" Arabic Letter U Isolated Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﯗ
U+FBD7 "ﯗ" Arabic Letter U Isolated Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter waw, used specifically to represent a long vowel sound like the English "oo" in the word "moon" when written in isolation. This character falls within the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which contains typographically distinct glyphs intended for use in text rendering systems to achieve proper joining behavior in cursive scripts. Unlike the standard Arabic letter waw (U+0648), this isolated form ensures that the character stands alone without connecting to adjacent letters, making it particularly useful in environments where precise visual representation of a standalone vowel shape is required.
