U+FEDE "ﻞ" Arabic Letter Lam Final Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﻞ
U+FEDE "ﻞ" Arabic Letter Lam Final Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter "lam" (ل) used specifically when the letter appears at the end of a word, after it has been connected to a preceding character from its right side. This glyph represents the final positional variant in Arabic typography, where letters change shape depending on their placement within a word, and it is encoded in the Unicode block "Arabic Presentation Forms-A" to support legacy text rendering and fine typographic control. Its standard Unicode name reflects its role as the final form, distinguishing it from the isolated, initial, or medial shapes of the same letter.
