U+FC14 "ﰔ" Arabic Ligature Theh with Yeh Isolated Form Unicode Character

U+FC14 "ﰔ" Arabic Ligature Theh with Yeh Isolated Form is a typographic ligature from the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, specifically representing the combined glyph of the Arabic letters theh (ﺙ) and yeh (ﻱ) when they appear as a single, joined character in their isolated form. It is used in certain contexts of Arabic script calligraphy and typesetting to create a compact and stylized representation of the consonant sequence "thy" or "تھی" (depending on dialectal pronunciation), most commonly found in historical or decorative texts rather than in standard modern digital text. This character should not be confused with its decomposed equivalent, as it is a precomposed ligature intended for compatibility with older encoding systems.
