U+FC56 "ﱖ" Arabic Ligature Yeh with Hah Isolated Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ﱖ

U+FC56 "ﱖ" Arabic Ligature Yeh with Hah Isolated Form is a typographic ligature used in the Arabic script, representing the joined combination of the letters Yeh (ﻱ) and Hah (ﺡ) in their isolated positional form. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which was designed to handle specific cursive text rendering in digital environments where standard Unicode Arabic characters might not automatically produce the required visual connection. The ligature ensures that the two letters appear as a single, seamless glyph, which helps maintain the fluent calligraphic style of written Arabic. It is primarily utilized in text processing and typesetting systems that require precomposed forms for compatibility with legacy encoding systems or when precise control over complex script formatting is needed.
