U+FC6A "ﱪ" Arabic Ligature Beh with Reh Final Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ﱪ

U+FC6A "ﱪ" Arabic Ligature Beh with Reh Final Form is a typographic ligature used in the Arabic script, representing the specific combination of the letters Beh (ب) and Reh (ر) connected in their final positional form. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which was encoded to support legacy text rendering and calligraphic styles that require distinct, precomposed glyph shapes. It appears at the end of a word, where the Beh takes its final isolated or medial shape and joins seamlessly to a preceding Reh, enhancing readability and preserving traditional cursive aesthetics in Arabic typesetting. The ligature is primarily utilized in software and systems that depend on precomposed forms for accurate text display, rather than modern dynamic shaping engines like those found in OpenType fonts.
