ﯧ

arabic letter e medial form

Arabic letter E, medial form

136/631

ﯧ is ې with its joining position built in: the form used when it connects on both sides inside a word. The base letter is used in Uyghur and Pashto writing; text software normally chooses that shape from context, while Unicode keeps the separate code point for older text.

Text symbol

What ﯧ means

It is ې with its medial shape fixed. A joining letter can look different alone, at a word’s start, in its middle, and at its end; “medial” is the middle form, joined on both sides. In a table that writes Uyghur in Latin letters, ې corresponds to e.

Older Arabic text systems stored positional shapes as separate characters, so Unicode retains them for compatibility. For ordinary Uyghur or Pashto text, enter the base letter ې ; layout software selects its connected form from context.

Why does ﯧ show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
