Unicode Version 17.0
ﻄ
U+FEC4 "ﻄ" Arabic Letter Tah Medial Form is a presentation form variant of the Arabic letter Tah, specifically designed to appear in the medial (middle) position within a word when connected to other characters on both sides. This glyph belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block and is used in contexts where precise typographic shaping is required, such as in word processing or font rendering for traditional Arabic script. Unlike the standard isolated or final forms of Tah, this medial variant features distinct connecting strokes on both its right and left sides, enabling it to seamlessly join with adjacent letters in cursive Arabic text.
