U+FEC2 "ﻂ" Arabic Letter Tah Final Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FEC2 "ﻂ" Arabic Letter Tah Final Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter "Tah" (ط) specifically designed to appear at the end of a word when connected to a preceding character from the right, as part of the complex Arabic cursive script. It belongs to the Unicode block "Arabic Presentation Forms-B," which was created to accommodate legacy encoding systems and display variations of letters for precise digital rendering. This glyph represents the same base consonant sound as the standard "ط" but is only used in typographic contexts where a final positional variant is required, ensuring proper visual flow in text. In modern Unicode text processing, the character is generally deprecated in favor of the standard Arabic character "ط" (U+0637) combined with a Unicode shaping engine, which automatically selects the correct form based on letter position.
