U+FEAE "ﺮ" Arabic Letter Reh Final Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﺮ
U+FEAE "ﺮ" Arabic Letter Reh Final Form is a typographic variant of the Arabic letter Reh (ر) used specifically in the final position of a word when written in certain Arabic scripts where letters connect. Unlike the isolated or initial forms of Reh, this final form features a distinctive curved tail that descends from the baseline, allowing it to connect seamlessly to the preceding character while remaining unconnected on its left side as Arabic script joins from right to left. It is encoded as a presentation form to support accurate text rendering in contexts like traditional calligraphy or digital typesetting, ensuring the correct visual shape for the letter's role at the end of a word.
