U+FEB7 "" Arabic Letter Sheen Initial Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FEB7 "" Arabic Letter Sheen Initial Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter sheen (ش), specifically designed to appear at the beginning of a word within a cursive Arabic text rendering. Unlike the isolated or medial forms, this glyph features a distinct shape with a long connecting tail on the right side, allowing it to seamlessly join the preceding character in a word while maintaining the three characteristic dots above the main body. It is encoded as part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, primarily intended for legacy or compatibility use with older text processing systems, as modern Unicode standards generally rely on dynamic shaping algorithms rather than these precomposed positional variants.
