U+FE90 "ﺐ" Arabic Letter Beh Final Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FE90 "ﺐ" Arabic Letter Beh Final Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter "Beh" (ب) that is used specifically at the end of a word or in an isolated context, where its shape connects to a preceding character but not to a following one. This glyph represents the final form of the letter, which is an essential aspect of Arabic script's complex cursive writing system, where letters change appearance based on their position within a word. It encodes the same sound as the standard letter Beh, namely the voiced bilabial stop /b/, and is primarily employed in text processing systems that require precise rendering of Arabic calligraphy. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that digital representations of Arabic text maintain proper typographic fidelity across different platforms and applications.
