Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+FEDC "" Arabic Letter Kaf Medial Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter Kaf specifically designed for typesetting when the character appears in the middle of a word. Unlike standard Unicode Arabic characters, which are intended for logical and bidirectional text processing, this character belongs to the "Arabic Presentation Forms-B" block and represents a positional glyph variant that links to both a preceding and a following letter. Its use is typically restricted to legacy systems and compatibility with older text rendering, while modern Arabic text processing relies on the standard isolated or contextual forms of the letter through font shaping engines like OpenType or Unicode bidirectional algorithms.
