Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FED5 "" Arabic Letter Qaf Isolated Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter qaf, specifically designed for use in cursive Arabic script when the letter stands alone without connecting to adjacent letters. Visually, it resembles a loop with a descending tail or a small bowl shape, and it represents the emphatic voiceless uvular plosive sound /q/ in standard Arabic. This isolated form is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block in Unicode, which provides typographic variants to achieve proper joining and shaping in text rendering, ensuring that the letter appears correctly in contexts where ligature or positional shaping is required.
