U+FEE1 "ﻡ" Arabic Letter Meem Isolated Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FEE1 "ﻡ" Arabic Letter Meem Isolated Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter meem, specifically designed for use in cursive rendering systems to represent the isolated appearance of the character when it stands alone or at the end of a word. Unlike the standard Arabic letter meem (U+0645), this codepoint belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block and provides a predefined glyphic variant that maintains the circular body and trailing tail typical of isolated meem, allowing text rendering engines to display the correct shape without relying on complex shaping rules. It is primarily used in legacy systems or specialized typographic contexts where explicit control over character form is needed, and it carries the same phonetic value as the standard meem, representing the sound /m/.
