ی

Perso-Arabic ye

In the Persian alphabet, the letter is generally called ye following Persian-language custom. Traditionally, in its isolated and final forms, the letter does not have dots (ی), much like the Arabic Alif maqṣūrah or, in the Quran, much like the custom in Egypt, Sudan, and sometimes Maghreb. On account of this difference, Perso-Arabic ye is located at a different Unicodecode point than both of the standard Arabic letters. In computers, the Persian version of the letter automatically appears with two dots initially and medially: (یـ ـیـ ـی).
