Arabic Mathematical Initial Heh

Word for Windows can enter 𞸤 through Unicode hex conversion when the font supports it. In Arabic-script math, its initial heh form is used for Euler’s number e; another formula can define it differently.

What 𞸤 means

Type 1EE24, then press Alt+X.

In Microsoft Word for Windows, type the hexadecimal value 1EE24 and press Alt+X to convert it. If it shows as a box, choose a font that includes this character.

What does 𞸤 mean in Arabic math?

Its role depends on the notation around it.

One established Arabic-script use is Euler’s number, the constant that serves as the base of natural logarithms. In another formula, follow the author’s definition.

Why doesn’t 𞸤 join like ordinary Arabic?

It is a separately encoded math form, not a joining form.

Arabic letters normally change shape as they join in words; the initial shape is the first letter at the word’s right edge. 𞸤 keeps one mathematical shape instead of changing with its neighbors.

The style comes from Arabic letterforms used for many centuries in manuscripts and traditional print. Arabic and Persian mathematical notation uses such forms, with regional differences; separate styles help distinguish math symbols. Compatibility normalization (NFKC), a text-processing option that folds styled letters to base forms, changes 𞸤 to ordinary ه.

Specialized mathematical form, not the everyday Arabic letter.

In an Arabic word, use ه; 𞸤 is a separate mathematical form.

Why does 𞸤 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.
