Unicode Version 17.0

U+FBED "ﯭ" Arabic Ligature Yeh with Hamza Above with Ae Final Form is a special presentation form used in the Arabic script to represent a specific typographic ligature that combines the letter "Yeh with Hamza Above" and the letter "Ae" in their final position within a word. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, designed for compatibility with legacy text rendering and to ensure correct visual shaping when the two characters appear as a connected unit at the end of a word.
