U+FEAC "ﺬ" Arabic Letter Thal Final Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FEAC "ﺬ" Arabic Letter Thal Final Form is a presentation form variant of the Arabic letter "thal" (ذ), specifically designed for use at the end of a word in typographically complex Arabic script. It represents the same sound as the basic letter, a voiced dental fricative similar to the "th" in the English word "that," but its distinctive curved shape connects only to preceding letters, remaining unconnected to the following character. This final form ensures proper calligraphic flow and visual consistency in printed and digital Arabic text, where letters change shape based on their position within a word.
