U+FC46 "ﱆ" Arabic Ligature Meem with Hah Isolated Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ﱆ

U+FC46 "ﱆ" Arabic Ligature Meem with Hah Isolated Form is a typographic glyph used in Arabic script calligraphy and text rendering to represent the combined form of the letters meem (م) and hah (ح) when they appear as a ligature in their isolated presentation, meaning it is used when the two letters stand alone rather than being connected to other characters in a word. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which is designed to support complex text layout for decorative or traditional writing styles where such ligatures enhance visual harmony. Its encoding allows digital systems to display the specific joined shape that would otherwise require manual arrangement, ensuring fidelity to classical Arabic script conventions in contexts like Quranic text or formal typography.
