U+FEF4 "" Arabic Letter Yeh Medial Form is a presentation form of the Arabic letter Yeh, specifically designed for use in the medial (word-internal) position when rendering Arabic text in a typographic context that requires cursive shaping. This character represents the letter Yāʼ (ﻱ) in its joined middle form, appearing with connecting strokes on both sides to seamlessly integrate into the continuous, right-to-left script of written Arabic. It is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which exists primarily for compatibility with older text-processing systems that rely on precomposed character shapes rather than relying on modern shaping engines to automatically generate the correct form from a base character.
