Unicode Version 17.0
ﯫ
U+FBEB "ﯫ" Arabic Ligature Yeh with Hamza Above with Alef Final Form is a typographic presentation form used in Arabic script to represent the joined rendering of the letters Yeh with Hamza Above (ئ) followed by Alef (ا) when they appear together in the final position of a word, such as in the common word for "thing" or "object" (شَيْئًا). This ligature is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, designed to preserve historical or calligraphic rendering expectations in digital text, and it is typically employed in specialized contexts where exact visual representation of the cursive connection between these characters is required, rather than relying on standard Unicode shaping algorithms.
