U+FB96 "" Arabic Letter Gueh Isolated Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FB96 "" Arabic Letter Gueh Isolated Form is a presentation form variant of the Arabic letter representing the "gueh" sound, which is typically used in the Arabic script for languages such as Persian, Urdu, and Kurdish to denote a hard "g" sound distinct from the standard Arabic "kaf" or "jim". Characterized by its isolated form, this glyph appears alone and is part of a set of contextual shapes that include initial, medial, and final forms, allowing it to connect to other letters in Arabic script calligraphy and typography. Unlike the basic Unicode character for gueh (U+06AF), this specific presentation form is encoded as a compatibility character, primarily intended to preserve the visual appearance of older text or specialized fonts where the isolated shape diverges from modern standard representations.
