U+FC76 "ﱶ" Arabic Ligature Theh with Reh Final Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FC76 "ﱶ" Arabic Ligature Theh with Reh Final Form is a typographic presentation form in the Arabic script, representing a ligature of the Arabic letters theh (ث) and reh (ر) combined into a single glyph for use in the final position of a word. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which was designed to support specialized calligraphic and typographic rendering requirements rather than for general text encoding. Its sole purpose is to denote the joined shape of these two letters when they appear together at the end of a syllable or word, where the theh takes on a final form and the reh follows seamlessly. As a presentation form, U+FC76 is intended for visual display and should not be used for plain text storage, where standard Unicode characters for theh and reh combined with shaping algorithms are preferred for proper text processing.
