U+FEEE "ﻮ" Arabic Letter Waw Final Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FEEE "ﻮ" Arabic Letter Waw Final Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter waw, specifically designed to appear at the end of a word in cursive Arabic script. In standard Arabic text, this character represents the consonant sound /w/ or the long vowel /uː/, and its final form features a distinct downward curved tail that connects to the preceding letter. Unlike the isolated or initial forms of waw, this glyph is intended for use in typographic rendering or legacy text processing systems, as modern Unicode encoding typically relies on the standard Arabic letter waw (U+0648) and shaping algorithms to automatically generate the correct contextual form.
