U+10ED3 "" Arabic Ligature Alayhimaa as-Salaatu Was-Salaam Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10ED3 "" Arabic Ligature Alayhimaa as-Salaatu Was-Salaam is a specialized typographic symbol within the Unicode Standard, encoded in the Arabic Extended C block to represent a reverential phrase used in Islamic texts. This ligature combines the Arabic words meaning "upon them both be prayers and peace," specifically employing the dual pronoun "himaa" to refer to two honored individuals, such as prophets or saints. It serves as a sacred honorific, typically appended in writing after the names of figures like the parents of the Prophet Muhammad or other revered pairs, streamlining religious calligraphy by condensing the lengthy phrase into a single cohesive glyph. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures accurate digital representation and preservation of classical Arabic manuscript traditions, where such ligatures were common for maintaining textual flow and reverence.
