The Urdu letter یے (Ye)

Urdu writes ی where Arabic writes ي. Arabic dots the final ya. Urdu does not, and writes ی. A name typed with the Arabic ي will still be read, but it is not how a South Asian family writes it.

By what visitors search for and open on this site, Yusuf, Yahya and Yunus lead this letter. The settled meaning of Yusuf is: The prophet Joseph.
What does Ye mean in Ilm ul Huroof?
