About this character

U+0625 (إ) is ARABIC LETTER ALEF WITH HAMZA BELOW, a letter in the Arabic block. It belongs to the Arabic script. It was added in Unicode 1.1 (1993).

It is precomposed. Under NFD it decomposes into U+0627 ا + U+0655 ◌ٕ, and NFC recombines that sequence into this single codepoint, so both spellings are canonically equivalent and should compare equal after normalization. See the normalization guide.

It is a strong right-to-left character (bidirectional class AL), so it sets the direction of the text around it. See bidirectional text.
