About this character

U+FB20 (ﬠ) is HEBREW LETTER ALTERNATIVE AYIN, a letter in the Alphabetic Presentation Forms block. It belongs to the Hebrew script. It was added in Unicode 1.1 (1993).

It is a font variant of U+05E2 ע (compatibility decomposition <font>). NFC and NFD leave it alone, but NFKC and NFKD replace it with U+05E2 ע. Search engines, identifier checks and username systems that apply NFKC will treat the two as the same text.

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