U+FC0B "ﰋ" Arabic Ligature Teh with Jeem Isolated Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ﰋ

U+FC0B "ﰋ" Arabic Ligature Teh with Jeem Isolated Form is a typographic ligature used in the Arabic script, specifically representing the combined form of the letters "teh" (ت) and "jeem" (ج) when they appear together in an isolated context. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which includes many precomposed ligatures designed to support complex calligraphic and typographic traditions where two letters merge into a single glyph for aesthetic or readability purposes. In standard text processing, this ligature is rarely used in modern digital typography, as Unicode prefers the use of separate base letters with automatic shaping via fonts, but it remains available for historical texts, specialized Quranic manuscripts, or legacy document rendering.
