Unicode Version 17.0

ﰗ

U+FC17 "ﰗ" Arabic Ligature Hah with Jeem Isolated Form is a typographic ligature used in the Arabic script, specifically representing the combination of the letters Hah (ح) and Jeem (ج) joined together in their isolated form. This ligature is part of the Unicode Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which was designed to support complex calligraphic and typographical needs of the Arabic writing system, particularly for legacy fonts and historical texts. It typically appears as a single, connected glyph that preserves the distinct shapes of both letters while merging them into one character for aesthetic or space-saving purposes, though its use is primarily restricted to specialized or traditional contexts rather than modern standard Arabic text.
