This glyph is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block and represents a cursive variant that appears when the character starts a word in connected Arabic script, such as in words like 'حِسَاب' (ḥisāb, meaning "account"). Its shape resembles a small, open upward curve with a notch, distinct from the isolated form (U+062D ح) and other positional forms, ensuring proper typographic rendering in right-to-left text.
