U+FBCC "" Arabic Ligature Hafizahu Allaah Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+FBCC "" Arabic Ligature Hafizahu Allaah is a typographic ligature used in Arabic script to represent the honorific phrase "Ḥafiẓahu Allāh" (حفظه الله), which translates to "May God protect him" and is traditionally appended after the names of respected male Islamic scholars, religious figures, or deceased individuals as a prayerful expression of reverence. This character belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which contains ligatures designed for compatibility with older text encoding systems, though in modern digital contexts the phrase is often written as separate characters with a zero-width joiner for greater flexibility.
