Joining Group - Heh Goal

Heh Goal is a joining group used for the Arabic letter heh with a specific initial or medial form, typically appearing in certain Persian and Urdu script contexts. It represents a variant of the letter heh that connects to following characters in a cursive style, but its joining behavior differs from the standard heh by requiring a distinct glyph shape when it attaches to the left side. This value ensures that text rendering systems select the correct form for words where this particular heh variant is intended, such as in the word “kūheh” or similar lexical items, preserving visual accuracy and preventing confusion with the more common heh forms. It is primarily relevant for fonts and shaping engines that support complex script rendering.
