U+FEA4 "ﺤ" Arabic Letter Hah Medial Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﺤ
U+FEA4 "ﺤ" Arabic Letter Hah Medial Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter "ḥāʾ" (ه) used specifically when it appears in the middle of a word and connects to both the preceding and following letters. This glyph represents the medial variant of the letter, which is essential for proper cursive Arabic script, where letters change shape based on their position in a word. U+FEA4 is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, designed to support legacy text rendering and precise typographic control, though modern Unicode usage typically relies on the standard Arabic character U+0647 combined with shaping engines to automatically generate the correct form.
