Joining Group - African Feh
Unicode Version 18.0
African Feh is a joining group that defines how the Arabic letter Feh behaves when rendered in certain African languages, particularly in scripts like Fulfulde, Wolof, or Hausa, where it represents a sound close to a “p.” In these contexts, the character connects to adjacent letters in a distinct way, typically using a medial or initial form that differs from standard Arabic Feh, allowing it to link smoothly with preceding and following glyphs. This joining behavior ensures that the letter maintains its unique shape and pronunciation while fitting seamlessly into cursive text flow, supporting proper word formation and legibility in languages that extend the Arabic script beyond its traditional phonetic range.
