U+FC2F "ﰯ" Arabic Ligature Feh with Khah Isolated Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ﰯ

U+FC2F "ﰯ" Arabic Ligature Feh with Khah Isolated Form is a special typographic symbol from the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, designed to represent a single, connected glyph that combines the letters Feh (ف) and Khah (خ) in their isolated forms. This ligature is primarily used in certain calligraphic and traditional text styles to enhance visual harmony and readability in Arabic script, particularly in contexts where the standalone rendition of these letters together as a compound shape is preferred for artistic or historical typesetting. Unlike modern standard Arabic text, which typically uses separate characters for each letter, this Unicode character serves as a preserved legacy encoding for specific fonts and systems that rely on precomposed ligatures.
