ARABIC LETTER DAD is other letters, including syllables and ideographs from the Basic Multilingual Plane.

The bidi class of ARABIC LETTER DAD is Right-to-Left Arabic (Strong). It belongs to the strong right-to-left characters..

The Right-to-Left Arabic (AL) bidi class is similar to the Right-to-Left (R) class, but it specifically applies to Arabic script characters and characters from other scripts that behave similarly. This class is important for the correct handling of Arabic text in bidirectional contexts, ensuring that it aligns properly with the overall text direction.

Other Letter (Lo) refers to letters that do not fit into the uppercase, lowercase, titlecase, or modifier letter categories. These include letters from scripts that do not have case distinction, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, and others. This category is also used for syllabic and ideographic characters that function as letters.

This character belongs to the Arabic block. The Arabic block contains characters used in writing the Arabic script, which is one of the most widely used writing systems in the world. The script is used for writing Arabic, Persian, Urdu, and several other languages across the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia. The Arabic script is written from right to left and includes characters with contextual forms that change depending on their position in a word. This block includes the core letters, numerals, and commonly used punctuation marks. The script is notable for its cursive form, where most letters are connected..
