Yes that's right.

OK. So back to my earlier question, do you know if the correct
Unicode for Uyghur HEH is 0647? Thomas Milo says yes, and I
think he is right. The reason I had the question was because
in Uyghur HEH evidently does not exihibit the "usual" shaping
behavior. There are so many different HEH (and YEH) type characters
in the Arabic script I get a bit confused sometimes. For example, Urdu
uses at least four or five different what I refer to as "HEH-type" characters!
