U+FEBD "ﺽ" Arabic Letter Dad Isolated Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﺽ
U+FEBD "ﺽ" Arabic Letter Dad Isolated Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter "Ḍād" (ض), which in its standard isolated shape is represented at code point U+0636. This specific glyph is designed for use in contexts where precise typographic rendering requires distinct forms for letters based on their position in a word, and as the isolated form, it appears when the letter stands alone or at the end of a word following a non connecting character. The letter itself is historically significant in Arabic script as it represents the emphatic "d" sound, often called "the letter of the Arabs" due to its rarity in other languages.
