U+FC1E "ﰞ" Arabic Ligature Seen with Khah Isolated Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ﰞ

U+FC1E "ﰞ" Arabic Ligature Seen with Khah Isolated Form is a typographic ligature specifically designed for the Arabic script, representing the combination of the letters Seen (س) and Khah (خ) joined together in a single glyph when they appear in isolated form. This character falls within the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which contains contextual ligatures used for advanced rendering in calligraphic or traditional texts, rather than for standard dynamic text composition. In practice, its usage is limited to specialized environments where precomposed ligatures are required, such as in certain religious or historical manuscripts, and it is not typically employed in modern digital Arabic typing, where standard Unicode encoding and font shaping algorithms handle letter combinations automatically.
