U+FE7A "ﹺ" Arabic Kasra Isolated Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﹺ
U+FE7A "ﹺ" Arabic Kasra Isolated Form is a presentation form glyph used in Arabic script for the vowel sign kasra, which indicates an /i/ sound, rendered in its isolated shape for typographic compatibility and text processing. This specific character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block and is designed for systems that require explicit positional variants of diacritical marks, such as when producing traditional or calligraphic Arabic text layouts. It differs from the standard combining kasra (U+0650) as it represents the standalone form rather than a character that attaches to a base letter.
