Joining Group - Mim

Mim is a joining group that defines how the Arabic letter mim connects to adjacent characters in cursive scripts, such as Arabic and Syriac. It specifies that the glyph for mim takes a form that joins on both sides, creating a continuous baseline when it appears between two other letters. In isolated or final positions, its shape changes to a closed loop with a tail, while in initial or medial positions it appears as a compact circle with a connecting stroke. This joining behavior ensures proper text shaping for languages using the Arabic script, allowing the letter to visually link with its neighbors without breaking the flow of writing.
