U+FC62 "ﱢ" Arabic Ligature Shadda with Kasra Isolated Form Unicode Character

U+FC62 "ﱢ" Arabic Ligature Shadda with Kasra Isolated Form is a typographic ligature used in the Arabic script, combining the shadda diacritic (which indicates gemination or doubling of a consonant) with the kasra diacritic (which marks a short /i/ vowel) into a single glyph. This isolated form appears when the ligature stands alone, without connecting to adjacent letters, typically in the middle or end of a word. It is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, designed primarily for compatibility with older text rendering systems, and it helps streamline the visual representation of certain common phonetic combinations in Arabic calligraphy and typesetting.
