U+FC69 "ﱩ" Arabic Ligature Yeh with Hamza Above with Yeh Final Form Unicode Character
U+FC69 "ﱩ" Arabic Ligature Yeh with Hamza Above with Yeh Final Form is a typographic compound glyph used in the Arabic script, specifically designed for the positional rendering of two distinct characters joined together. It combines the letter Yeh with a Hamza diacritic above (ء + ي) followed by a standalone Yeh (ي) into a single cursive form that appears only at the end of a word. This ligature helps preserve the correct orthographic representation in written Arabic, particularly in texts that employ the traditional Naskh or Nastaliq calligraphic styles, ensuring the hamza is properly placed and the connecting strokes flow smoothly. While not commonly used in modern digital typography due to Unicode's preference for dynamic shaping, it remains part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block for compatibility with older systems and specialized typesetting.
