NO. When 0x0622 changes its display form into ISOLATED FORM because of context it still stays 0x0622. Only the glyph changes, not the underlying char. > So does 0xfe81 also belong to Right Joining type? If it is really a 0xfe81 char, encoded as such, then no. > I am asking this question > because according to Derived Joining Type .txt provided by UNICODE, it > doesn��t have any category for characters once they change their display > form. > > I personally feel that a particular character belonging to a particular > joining type will have all its different display forms also belonging to the > particular joining type .
