U+FC75 "ﱵ" Arabic Ligature Teh with Yeh Final Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ﱵ

U+FC75 "ﱵ" Arabic Ligature Teh with Yeh Final Form is a typographic ligature used in the Arabic script, specifically combining the letters "teh" (ت) and "yeh" (ي) into a single glyph designed for the final position of a word. This character belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which includes a range of contextual ligatures and variant forms intended to enable correct rendering of Arabic text in certain legacy or font-specific systems. It represents a visual joining of the two consonants, where the tail of the "teh" merges seamlessly with the final "yeh", and as a final form, it appears at the end of a word after a preceding connected letter. Its primary purpose is to maintain proper cursive flow and typographic consistency in written Arabic, particularly in environments where automatic shaping by a text engine may be limited or absent.
