U+FC20 "ﰠ" Arabic Ligature Sad with Hah Isolated Form Unicode Character

U+FC20 "ﰠ" Arabic Ligature Sad with Hah Isolated Form is a typographic ligature used in the Arabic script that combines the letter Sad (ص) and the letter Hah (ح) into a single glyph for aesthetic or calligraphic purposes when they appear in sequence without connecting to adjacent letters. This character belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which contains precomposed ligatures primarily intended for compatibility with legacy text processing systems and to preserve the visual form of traditional Arabic calligraphy. Its isolated form means it stands alone, not connected to other letters, and it is used in contexts such as Quranic texts, decorative writing, or when precise historical representation of the complex shape is required, though it is not commonly employed in standard modern digital typography.
