U+FEEC "ﻬ" Arabic Letter Heh Medial Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﻬ
U+FEEC "ﻬ" Arabic Letter Heh Medial Form is a presentation-form glyph used in the Arabic script to represent the letter "heh" when it occurs in the middle of a word, connecting to both the preceding and following letters. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block and is primarily intended for use in legacy text processing or typographic contexts where positional shaping must be explicitly encoded, rather than relying on automatic cursive joining. In modern Unicode applications, the standard Arabic letter "heh" U+0647 is typically used, and the correct medial form is generated by the rendering engine, but U+FEEC offers a fixed-form alternative for specialized systems.
