U+FEE2 "ﻢ" Arabic Letter Meem Final Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FEE2 "ﻢ" Arabic Letter Meem Final Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter meem (م) used specifically when it appears in the final position of a word, connecting only to the preceding character. This glyph is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, designed to support the cursive nature of Arabic script where letters change shape based on their position within a word. In standard Unicode usage, the contextual shaping of modern text rendering engines typically substitutes this final form automatically from the base letter meem, but U+FEE2 exists as an explicit compatibility character primarily for legacy systems and precise typesetting needs. Visually, it appears as a closed, rounded loop with a small tail that extends to the right when in isolation or at the end of a word, distinguishing it from the initial, medial, or isolated forms of meem.
