Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FEC3 "" Arabic Letter Tah Initial Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter "ṭāʾ" (ط), specifically designed to connect to the following letter in a word, as it appears at the beginning of a word or syllable in cursive Arabic script. It represents the voiceless pharyngealized alveolar plosive sound /tˤ/ and is primarily used in Arabic, Persian, and other languages written with the Arabic alphabet for proper textual rendering in digital environments. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block and is not intended for plain text storage, where the standard isolated letter "ط" (U+0637) is preferred, but rather for legacy display systems that require explicit glyph selection.
