Joining Group - Yeh With Tail

Unicode Version 18.0

Yeh With Tail is a joining group that defines how the Arabic letter yeh behaves when it connects to adjacent characters in cursive scripts. Specifically, it applies to forms of the letter that have a descending tail below the baseline, such as in certain Persian, Urdu, or Ottoman Turkish texts. Characters in this group join to both sides, but their final or isolated forms feature a distinctive tail that curves leftward and downward, distinguishing them from other yeh variants. This grouping ensures that shaping engines render the correct glyph forms, particularly when the letter appears in word-final position or after a connecting character, preserving the script’s visual harmony and legibility.
