U+FBFA "ﯺ" Arabic Ligature Uighur Kirghiz Yeh with Hamza Above with Alef Maksura Final Form is a typographic ligature used in the Arabic script, specifically designed for languages such as Uighur and Kirghiz. It combines a Yeh letter with a hamza diacritic above and an Alef Maksura, appearing in its final form to denote a specific phonetic or orthographic variation at the end of a word. This advanced glyph reflects the complex shaping requirements of Persian-based extensions to the Arabic script, ensuring proper visual representation in digital text where standard characters might not suffice for the unique sound or spelling conventions of these Central Asian languages. It is encoded in the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, a range reserved for rare or context-specific ligatures that support historical or specialized typographic needs.
