U+FC22 "ﰢ" Arabic Ligature Dad with Jeem Isolated Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ﰢ

U+FC22 "ﰢ" Arabic Ligature Dad with Jeem Isolated Form is a typographic ligature used in the Arabic script, representing the combination of the consonant dad (ض) and jeem (ج) as a single glyph in their isolated form, meaning it appears when these characters are not connected to preceding or following letters within a word. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block in Unicode, which encodes precomposed forms to support digital typesetting of complex cursive styles in Arabic calligraphy and printed media. Its inclusion helps preserve traditional ligature conventions, particularly in older text rendering systems or specialized fonts, where the joined glyph enhances readability and aesthetic harmony in manuscripts and formal documents.
