Arabic Letter Teh (Final Form)

Use ﺖ only when you need this exact compatibility form. It represents the base letter ت with a final-position shape, not a new sound or letter. In ordinary text, the font and shaping system choose a letter's connected shape from its neighbors.

Arabic writing developed connected letter forms through traditions that include Nabataean and Syriac script. Those forms served flowing handwritten words and continued through typewriters, movable type, and digital text. Calligraphic styles vary the appearance; the final position remains a position in a word, not a separate letter.

Arabic is written from right to left: a final letter form joins the letter before it on the right and does not join a following letter on the left. Related Arabic-script languages also use positional forms, though their alphabets and spelling conventions differ.

How do I type ﺖ?

Use Unicode character entry when you need ﺖ itself. The methods below enter this exact compatibility character; an Arabic keyboard normally enters ت, whose shape is selected from context.

For ordinary Arabic text, enter ت and let the shaping system produce its final form. A font may draw that shape differently, but its role in the word stays positional.
