Arabic Letter Heh Final Form

It is Arabic heh in its final, connected shape. The shape changes with a letter’s position, but its identity stays the same. Arabic letters that join on both sides can take different shapes at the start, middle, or end of a connected run. This heh shape appears when the letter joins to the preceding letter but not to a following one.

Arabic writing developed through changing forms between Classical Nabataean and early Arabic. The earliest dated inscriptions with a full set of recognizably Arabic letter shapes appear in the late fifth century CE around Ḥimà; other early writing varies in shape and spelling. This computer character is a later compatibility form for software and stored text.

Type the base heh; let the text shape it.

To write Arabic, enter the ordinary letter ه within the word. The font and writing software shape it according to its neighbors; entering ﻪ directly stores a positional form instead of the ordinary letter.

Use U+FEEA only when a file, test, or compatibility task specifically requires this character. For text people need to search or edit, use ه and let the software choose its appearance.
