Each letter has a position-independent encoding in Unicode, and the rendering software can infer the correct glyph form (initial, medial, final or isolated) from its joining context. That is the current recommendation. However, for compatibility with previous standards, the initial, medial, final and isolated forms can also be encoded separately.

The alphabet consists of 28 letters written from right to left. Each letter can be written in four ways, depending on where the letter is placed in a word. These four locations are also known as initial, medial, final and isolated.
Specifying a non-Arabic character will just show that character in all four cells, surrounded by tatweels on the appropriate sides (in which case, the tatweels will not join with that non-Arabic character). A similar (but different) template implementation could be created for scripts other than Arabic using joining forms (see the references ...
