Joining Group - Yudh He

Unicode Version 18.0

Yudh He is a joining group classification for the Arabic letter heh, specifically used in the Syriac and early Arabic scripts to represent a distinct form of the letter when it appears in initial or medial positions, connecting to preceding and following characters. This group indicates that the character behaves as a right-joining letter, meaning it joins only to the letter on its left, while its right side remains unconnected. It is typically applied to the Syriac heh variants, such as ܗ, and distinguishes them from other heh forms that have different joining behaviors, like the standard Arabic heh or the heh goal. The designation helps shape correct cursive text shaping in digital typography, ensuring that words render with proper ligature and connection patterns across scripts.
