U+FBE5 "ﯥ" Arabic Letter E Final Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+FBE5 "ﯥ" Arabic Letter E Final Form is a presentation form variant used in the Arabic script for the letter representing the vowel sound "e," specifically designed to appear in the final position of a word, where it connects to the preceding letter from the right but not to any following character. This character belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which exists to enable correct visual rendering of complex typographic shapes that standard Arabic characters do not fully accommodate. Its primary purpose is to support legacy text processing systems and specialized typesetting environments that require explicit end-of-word glyphs, though modern Unicode-aware software typically substitutes this with the basic Arabic letter e (U+06D3) combined with automatic shaping rules.
