Unicode Version 17.0
U+10ED5 "" Arabic Ligature Quddisa Sirruhum is a typographic ligature used primarily in Islamic calligraphy and traditional manuscript contexts to represent the Arabic phrase "قدس سرهُم," meaning "may his secret be sanctified" or "holy is his secret," which is a reverential honorific traditionally appended to the names of revered saints and spiritual figures in Islamic culture. This character belongs to the Arabic Extended C block of the Unicode Standard, encoding a single combined glyph for a common scribal abbreviation, and it serves to preserve historical manuscript conventions in digital text by allowing faithful representation of sacred texts and religious writings without breaking the flow of the original calligraphic style.
