The distinction made here between Abjad Heh and Arabic Heh is unknown to me. What makes Abjad Heh different from ARABIC LETTER HEH INITIAL FORM (U+FEEB)?

I don't believe that the potential confusability between Arabic-Indic digit five and stand-alone Heh implies that it should not be used in writing math. See the mathematical charts (e.g. [1]) with Abjad numeral values in this manuscript in Arabic on astronomy[2] from 18th century. A modern approach might decide to avoid that usage, but it should not be elevated to an orthographic rule.
