U+FE86 "" Arabic Letter Waw with Hamza Above Final Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter waw (و) combined with a hamza diacritic (ء) placed above it, specifically designed to appear in the final position of a word in certain typographic contexts. This character represents a variation of the base letter used in Arabic script, where the hamza indicates a glottal stop sound, and its final form is typically narrower and more curved than the isolated or initial shapes. U+FE86 is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which encodes glyph variants for compatibility with older text rendering systems, ensuring that digital fonts display the correct shape for words ending with this ligature in styles like Naskh or Nastaliq.
