U+FC26 "ﰦ" Arabic Ligature Tah with Hah Isolated Form Unicode Character

U+FC26 "ﰦ" Arabic Ligature Tah with Hah Isolated Form is a typographic representation used in Arabic script, where the letters Tah (ط) and Hah (ح) are combined into a single ligature in their isolated form, meaning it appears as a standalone glyph not connected to other letters. This character belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which was designed for compatibility with older text processing systems, and it represents a stylistic or cursive variant that simplifies the writing of the two consonants together. In modern digital text, such ligatures are often replaced by standard character sequences, but this specific code point preserves the traditional calligraphic appearance for specialized rendering or historical data.
