U+FE95 "ﺕ" Arabic Letter Teh Isolated Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FE95 "ﺕ" Arabic Letter Teh Isolated Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter "teh" (ت), used specifically in certain typographic contexts to represent the isolated appearance of the letter when it stands alone in a word. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which provides positional variants of Arabic letters to support precise cursive rendering in text, particularly for legacy systems or specialized fonts. In standard Arabic script, the base character U+062A (ت) typically handles all positional forms, but U+FE95 is reserved for cases where explicit control over the isolated shape is needed, ensuring correct visual alignment in bidirectional text. Its usage is generally limited to historical, educational, or font mapping scenarios, and it is not commonly used in modern plain text, where the basic Unicode Arabic block is preferred.
