Joining Group - Feh

Feh is a joining group that defines how the Arabic letter feh, along with its contextual variants, connects to adjacent characters in cursive scripts like Arabic and Syriac. It specifies that this letter takes a right-joining form when followed by another character, meaning it connects forward but leaves a break on its left side, unless paired with a preceding connector. This behavior ensures proper shaping in words, where feh appears as an isolated, initial, medial, or final glyph depending on its position and the joining rules of neighboring letters. The value essentially governs the letter’s visual linkage, distinguishing it from other groups like beh or seen, which have different connection patterns.
