ARABIC VERTICAL TAIL is other letters, including syllables and ideographs from the Basic Multilingual Plane.

The bidi class of ARABIC VERTICAL TAIL 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 Extended-B block. The Arabic Extended-B block expands upon the basic Arabic script by including additional characters necessary for writing specific dialects and languages that use the Arabic script. Arabic is not only the liturgical language of Islam, but also the writing system for many languages across the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa, including Persian (Farsi), Urdu, Pashto, and Kurdish. These extensions address unique sounds and orthographic conventions not present in standard Arabic, helping to accommodate regional variations in how the script is used. The inclusion of these characters in Unicode is crucial for supporting linguistic diversity, as it enables digital representation and communication in minority languages that might otherwise be marginalized. Additionally, the block is important for scholars who study these languages, as it ensures that rare or specialized characters can be preserved and accessed in modern digital formats..
