U+FBFC "ﯼ" Arabic Letter Farsi Yeh Isolated Form Unicode Character

U+FBFC "ﯼ" Arabic Letter Farsi Yeh Isolated Form is a typographic variant of the letter "yeh" specifically used in the Persian (Farsi) alphabet to represent the long vowel sound /i:/ at the end of a word, known as "ye" or "yā-ye-makhlūt." It belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which contains various contextual forms of Arabic letters for better typographic rendering, though modern systems often prefer the standard "U+06CC" (ی) instead. This isolated form is distinct from the Arabic "alif maqsurah" or other yeh variants, as it maintains a unique shape with no final tail or connecting stroke, making it suitable for standalone display in written Persian text.
