U+FE93 "ﺓ" Arabic Letter Teh Marbuta Isolated Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FE93 "ﺓ" Arabic Letter Teh Marbuta Isolated Form is a presentation form of the standard Arabic letter Teh Marbuta (U+0629 "ة"), which is used at the end of feminine nouns and adjectives in Arabic to indicate a feminine grammatical gender. This specific isolated form, part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, is designed for use in positional contexts where the letter appears alone, such as in certain typographic or calligraphic styles, though modern digital text typically prefers the nominal encoding U+0629 for automatic shaping by fonts. It is important to note that Teh Marbuta is distinct from the letter Haa (ه) and is pronounced as a "t" sound when followed by a vowel or in construct state, but silent when paused, making it a key element of Arabic orthography and grammar.
