Variant sets

Arabic (language) — Second-Level Reference Label Generation Rules, 25 October 2024

Code points grouped into sets of mutual variants. Every member of a set produces the same set of variant labels, so a registration of one has implications for all the others. Sets of a single member are omitted, as are the identity mappings RFC 7940 requires each member to declare.

  ة	U+0629	⇆	ه	U+0647	→ allocatable ← blocked		In the Arabic language, U+0647 HEH may be substituted for U+0629 TEH MARBUTA. [RFC 6365]

  ة	U+0629	⇆	ۃ	U+06C3	→ optionally-activated ← blocked		The two are visually identical and the same label could be typed using one or the other based on the set language settings and keyboard layout of a user. Labels in the Arabic language using U+0629 TEH MARBUTA in the final and isolated positions will be typed in other languages using U+06C3 TEH MARBUTA GOAL (Urdu, etc.) which is identical in isolated and has a variant glyph or identical glyph form in final position
  ه	U+0647	⇆	ھ	U+06BE	→ optionally-activated ← blocked		Labels in the Arabic language using U+0647 HEH in the initial and medial positions will be visually similar in Urdu language to U+06BE LETTER HEH DOACHASHMEE
  ه	U+0647	⇆	ہ	U+06C1	→ optionally-activated ← blocked		Labels in the Arabic language using U+0647 HEH in the final and isolated positions will be typed in other languages using U+06C1 HEH GOAL (Urdu, Pashto, Saraiki, etc.) which is identical in isolated and has a variant glyph or identical glyph form in final position
