Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FEAF "" Arabic Letter Zain Isolated Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter zain, which represents the voiced dental fricative sound similar to the English "z". This specific glyph belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block and is used exclusively when the letter appears in its isolated position, meaning it is not connected to any preceding or following characters within a word. The isolated form differs from the initial, medial, and final forms of the letter, which are encoded separately to reflect calligraphic variations in Arabic script writing. In modern standard Arabic, this character is commonly employed in printed texts and digital typography to ensure proper visual representation of the letter when it stands alone or at the beginning of a word.
