This glyph is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block in Unicode, intended for certain legacy text rendering and typographic contexts, rather than for general modern text encoding, which typically uses the base character (U+0644) and relies on the text processing system to automatically select the correct shape based on its position in the word.
