U+FE92 "ﺒ" Arabic Letter Beh Medial Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﺒ
U+FE92 "ﺒ" Arabic Letter Beh Medial Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter Beh, specifically designed for the medial (middle) position within a word when connected to adjacent characters on both sides. This glyph is part of the Unicode standard's Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, and its role is purely typographic, serving to represent the ligature behavior of the basic letter Beh (U+0628) in cursive Arabic script. When rendering Arabic text, modern fonts typically handle positional variants automatically, but U+FE92 provides a static, precomposed form for legacy systems or specialized text processing where manual character shaping is needed.
