U+FBEE "ﯮ" Arabic Ligature Yeh with Hamza Above with Waw Isolated Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FBEE "ﯮ" Arabic Ligature Yeh with Hamza Above with Waw Isolated Form is a typographic ligature used in the Arabic script, specifically designed to combine the characters Yeh with Hamza Above (U+0626) and Waw (U+0648) into a single unified glyph for better visual harmony in writing. This isolated form appears when the ligature stands alone, without being connected to preceding or following letters, and is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which was created to support traditional calligraphic and typesetting conventions. Its use is generally limited to specialized text rendering or historical systems, as modern Unicode operations typically prefer separate character sequences over precomposed ligatures.
