U+FBF6 "ﯶ" Arabic Ligature Yeh with Hamza Above with E Isolated Form Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﯶ
U+FBF6 "ﯶ" Arabic Ligature Yeh with Hamza Above with E Isolated Form is a typographic ligature found in the Arabic script block, specifically designed for the presentation of the isolated form of a combined character sequence. It represents the visual joining of a Yeh letter bearing a Hamza above (ئ) with an E letter (ە), a connection often used in languages like Uyghur or Kazakh to denote specific vowel sounds. This ligature is classified as a compatibility character, encoded primarily for preserving the exact appearance of legacy text rather than for modern orthographic composition, and it is displayed in a single glyph shape to ensure correct rendering in digital environments where such joined forms are expected.
