Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+FE9D "ﺝ" Arabic Letter Jeem Isolated Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter Jeem (ج), specifically designed to appear in its standalone or isolated position within a word, as dictated by the rules of Arabic script for initial, medial, and final shapes. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block and is used for typographic precision in documents where the isolated form must be explicitly encoded, rather than relying on automatic shaping. Visually, it features a distinct hook-like curve and a single dot below the body, consistent with the standard Jeem shape, and it serves to represent the consonant sound /dʒ/ in various languages that use the Arabic script, such as Arabic, Persian, and Urdu.
