Joining Group - Teh Marbuta Goal

Teh Marbuta Goal is a character shape used in Arabic script, specifically representing the final or isolated form of the letter that typically appears as a rounded “h” with two dots above, but with a distinctive goalpost-like vertical stroke at its end. In cursive joining behavior, it acts as a connector that links to the preceding letter without connecting to the following one, similar to other right-joining characters, while its unique visual form helps differentiate it from standard teh marbuta in texts like the Quran or historical manuscripts. This joining group value ensures that rendering systems correctly shape the character in context, preserving its distinct appearance and preventing confusion with other letters that share similar base forms.
