U+FC4C "ﱌ" Arabic Ligature Noon with Hah Isolated Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FC4C "ﱌ" Arabic Ligature Noon with Hah Isolated Form is a typographic glyph used in Arabic script that represents a mandatory ligature combining the Arabic letters noon (ن) and hah (ح) into a single visual form specifically designed for the isolated position in text. This character belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which contains ligatures intended for compatibility with older standards and display systems. In its isolated form, the ligature appears as a connected shape where the noon leads into the hah, and it is primarily utilized in Quranic or classical calligraphic contexts rather than in modern standard Arabic writing. The ligature facilitates smoother text rendering in environments that do not support automatic ligature formation, ensuring the two characters are consistently presented as a unified glyph in isolated contexts.
