Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+FEC0 "ﻀ" Arabic Letter Dad Medial Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter "ḍād" (ض), specifically shaped for the medial position within a word, where it connects to both a preceding and a following character. This glyph is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, designed to support complex text rendering in Arabic script by providing context-sensitive shapes for typographic accuracy. Its usage primarily occurs in legacy systems or when precise visual control is required, as modern Unicode-compliant fonts automatically generate the correct medial form from the standard Arabic letter character code.
