𐻖

U+10ED6 "𐻖" Arabic Ligature Quddisa Sirruhumaa is a specialized typographic ligature used in Islamic calligraphy and text, where it visually combines Arabic letters to represent the reverential phrase "quddisa sirruhumaa," meaning "may their secret be sanctified." This phrase is traditionally appended after the names of certain revered figures, such as saints or scholars, in written Arabic to express respect and piety. The character belongs to the Supplementary Multilingual Plane, specifically within the Arabic Extended-C block, and it serves the practical purpose of preserving the stylistic and devotional integrity of classical Arabic manuscript tradition in digital text. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for accurate representation of this religious formula without the need for separate character combinations, supporting the needs of scholars, typographers, and communities who use this honorific in modern computing environments.
