U+FC1A "ﰚ" Arabic Ligature Khah with Hah Isolated Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ﰚ

U+FC1A "ﰚ" Arabic Ligature Khah with Hah Isolated Form is a typographic presentation form used within the Arabic script to represent the ligature of the letters khah (خ) and hah (ح) combined into a single glyph. This character is intended specifically for the isolated position, meaning it appears when the ligature is not connected to any preceding or following letters within a word. It belongs to the Unicode block "Arabic Presentation Forms-A," which contains a collection of contextual forms and ligatures that support the complex shaping and calligraphic styles of Arabic text, particularly in older or specialized fonts. While rendered as a specific visual glyph for compatibility with legacy systems, modern Arabic text processing often relies on dynamic shaping without needing such precomposed ligatures.
