U+FBF3 "ﯳ" Arabic Ligature Yeh with Hamza Above with Oe Final Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﯳ
U+FBF3 "ﯳ" Arabic Ligature Yeh with Hamza Above with Oe Final Form is a typographic ligature used in the Arabic script within specific writing systems, particularly for languages like Uyghur or Kazakh that utilize extended Arabic letters. It represents a combined glyph of the Arabic letter "Yeh" (ي) with a Hamza above (ئ) and the vowel sign "Oe" (ۅ) intended for the final position of a word, ensuring correct contextual shaping and legibility in complex text layouts. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block in Unicode, which provides precomposed forms for compatibility with older text rendering systems, though modern Unicode fonts often prefer combining sequences instead of relying on such ligatures.
