Re: [alreq] Does a final KASHMIRI YEH have a circle below it in Naskh style fonts? (#271)

A good deal of investigation by myself and other Unicode folks in 2024 resulted in the following changes to the text in The Unicode Standard (my emphasis):

> U+0620 ARABIC LETTER KASHMIRI YEH is used in Kashmiri text to indicate that the preceding consonantal sound is palatalized. The letter has the form of a yeh with a diacritic small circle below in initial and medial forms, **but its final and isolated forms appear as truncated yeh shapes (ؠ) without the diacritic ring.** It has a joining group of its own, KASHMIRI YEH, with the shapes as shown in [Table 9-10](https://unicode.org/versions/Unicode16.0.0/core-spec/chapter-9/#G44865), as well as [Table 9-7](https://unicode.org/versions/Unicode16.0.0/core-spec/chapter-9/#G50548). **(Prior to Version 16.0, the Unicode Standard had specified that when written in the Naskh style, the letter had different shapes than when written in Nastaliq style; that specification was erroneous.)**
