Since U+0647 appears to be the correct nominal codepoint for Uighur HEH, the
problem is then to make sure the rendering process knows how to deal with the
contextual analysis. Perhaps as Glenn suggested, with smart font or language
specific bindings. Assuming of course, that the system you are using is set
up to allow this.
