U+FE9E "ﺞ" Arabic Letter Jeem Final Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FE9E "ﺞ" Arabic Letter Jeem Final Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter Jeem (ج), specifically designed for use in medial or final positions within a word when written in connected Arabic script, where it takes a distinct curved shape with a single dot beneath it. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block and is primarily intended for compatibility with older text rendering systems, as modern Unicode processing typically relies on the standard isolated letter (U+062C) and shaping algorithms to produce the correct final form automatically. It is used in various languages that employ the Arabic script, such as Arabic, Persian, and Urdu, to represent the voiced palatal plosive or affricate sound, and its inclusion in Unicode ensures proper display and interchange of legacy documents that use precomposed glyphs.
