U+FC04 "ﰄ" Arabic Ligature Yeh with Hamza Above with Yeh Isolated Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FC04 "ﰄ" Arabic Ligature Yeh with Hamza Above with Yeh Isolated Form is a typographic ligature used in the Arabic script, representing the specific combination of a Yeh with a Hamza above followed by a second Yeh, displayed in an isolated formatting context. This character belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which was designed to encode contextual and calligraphic variants of Arabic letters that appear in traditional typesetting. The ligature ensures correct visual representation in text where two separate characters would otherwise require manual spacing or shaping adjustments, and it is particularly common in Quranic and classical Arabic manuscripts. U+FC04 is not typically used for modern digital text input but rather for specialized textual rendering and preservation of historical orthographic conventions.
