ﮣ
U+FBA3 "ﮣ" Arabic Letter Rnoon Medial Form is a presentation form variant of the Arabic letter Rnoon, which is a composite character representing a combination of a reh and a noon. This specific medial form is designed for use in the middle of a word within certain Arabic script contexts, typically in older or calligraphic text styles, and it appears as a single connected glyph rather than two separate letters. It belongs to the Unicode block for Arabic Presentation Forms A, which contains ligatures and contextual shapes that are not generally used in modern standard Arabic text but may be necessary for preserving historical or typographic fidelity.
