My arabic is very limited.  But I don't see the character in the
combined word at all.  The character that is mentioned is a taa that
should before a saad, according to the explanation.  But the sequence
in the word displayed is hamza-saad-alif, i.e. the taa is replaced by
a hamza.  It doesn't seem to be a question of shaping, but of using
the right glyph.
