U+FEAA "ﺪ" Arabic Letter Dal Final Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﺪ
U+FEAA "ﺪ" Arabic Letter Dal Final Form is a specialized typographic variant of the Arabic letter "د" (dal), which represents the sound /d/. It is specifically designed to appear in the final position of a word where it joins with the preceding letter in cursive Arabic script, resulting in a distinct, rounded tail that descends below the baseline. Unlike the isolated form "د", this final form is used only in connected text to maintain proper orthographic flow, and it is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which encodes context-sensitive shapes for compatibility with older text rendering systems.
