U+FECD "" Arabic Letter Ghain Isolated Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FECD "" Arabic Letter Ghain Isolated Form is a glyph representation of the Arabic letter ghain (ﻍ) used specifically in calligraphic or typographic contexts when the letter appears alone and not connected to other characters, as part of the Arabic script's positional forms in the Unicode standard. This isolated form is encoded in the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, serving primarily for compatibility with older text rendering systems or for representing the letter in its standalone shape, which features a distinctive curved loop with a single dot above. In modern Arabic text, the standard encoding for ghain is U+063A, and U+FECD is typically used only when precise control over the letter's isolated appearance is required, such as in specialized typesetting or historical documentation.
