=== Returned yāʾ ===
In different calligraphic styles like the [[Hijazi script]], [[Kufic]], and [[Nastaʿlīq script]], a final ''yāʾ'' might have a particular shape with the descender turned to the right (<span style="margin-right:1em;">{{Nastaliq|ـے}}</span>), called {{Transliteration|ar|al-yāʾ al-mardūdah/al-rājiʿah}} ("returned, recurred ''yāʾ''"),<ref>{{cite book |last1=Gacek |first1=Adam |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GfZYCcOL8dYC&pg=PA29 |title=The Arabic manuscript tradition: a glossary of technical terms and bibliography: supplement |date=2008 |publisher=Brill |isbn=978-9004165403 |location=Leiden |page=29}}</ref> either with two dots or without them.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Yūsofī |first1=Ḡolām-Ḥosayn |title=Encyclopædia Iranica |date=1990 |volume=IV |pages=680–704 |chapter=Calligraphy |chapter-url=http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/calligraphy |access-date=2015-10-03 |archive-date=2021-10-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211025231747/http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/calligraphy |url-status=live }}</ref>

In [[Urdu alphabet|Urdu]] this is called ''[[baṛī ye]]'' ("big ye"), but is an independent letter used for /ɛː, eː/ and differs from the basic ye (''choṭī ye'', "little ye"). For this reason the letter has its own [[code point]] in Unicode. Nevertheless, its initial and medial forms are not different from the other ''ye'' (practically ''baṛī ye'' is not used in these positions).
