U+FEA6 "ﺦ" Arabic Letter Khah Final Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﺦ
U+FEA6 "ﺦ" Arabic Letter Khah Final Form is a contextual variant of the Arabic letter "خ" (Khah), used specifically when it appears at the end of a word or in an isolated position within a cursive Arabic script. This glyph represents the voiceless uvular fricative sound /x/ (like the "ch" in Scottish "loch") and is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which encodes positional shapes for correct typographic rendering. In connected text, it appears following a preceding character that joins to it, with a distinctive tail that curves leftward and descends below the baseline, distinguishing it from the initial, medial, and isolated forms of the same letter.
