Wrong display of Uyghur letter ھ ? #189
Comments
the letter is U+06BE ھ ARABIC LETTER HEH DOACHASHMEE |
This appears to be by design, but I don't know if it's correct. The font does contain (and correctly display) medial, initial and final forms for heh doachashmee, but they are very similar to the isolated form (initial and medial forms do not have a raised "tail" at the exit stroke). I'm not sure why the "figure eight" forms are not used in the medial/final. |
Unicode 14.0 and 15.0 updated the "Letter heh" paragraph with the following info and table relevant to 06BE:

Many Turkic languages of Central Asia like Uyghur as well as Kurdish use the modification of the letter for front vowels [æ] or [ɛ]. This has its own code point (U+06D5). To distinguish it from Arabic hāʾ /h/ the letter lacks its initial and medial forms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He_(letter)#Arabic_h%C4%81%CA%BE |
@sal-ammoniac Simon suggested using the medial form of U+0647 for the medial and final forms of U+06BE, and possibly adjusting the end stroke of the final form: |
that seems ok @moyogo |
Redraw hehDoachashmee-ar.fina based on heh-ar.medi, and use heh-ar.medi for hehDoachashmee-ar.medi, and make the old forms localized variants for the respective locales. notofonts#189

The letter "ھ" in Uyghur will only show its isolated form even in medial and final form.
however,it should be showing "ـھـ" in its medial and final form.
