Overview
Among the most frequent letters in written Arabic is heh, encoded at U+0647, which marks the h sound and also terminates the feminine suffix in its two-dotted variant ta marbuta at U+0629. Its four contextual forms differ markedly: the initial shape bears little visual resemblance to the isolated one, yet all are the same character, resolved by the shaping engine at render time. Unicode gives it the general category Lo (letter, other) and a right-to-left bidirectional class. Related but distinct code points exist for Urdu and Persian variants, so text should not be normalised between them casually.
