U+FC82 "ﲂ" Arabic Ligature Kaf with Meem Final Form is a typographic ligature used in the Arabic script, specifically representing the combined form of the letters Kaf (ك) and Meem (م) when they appear together as the final, or end of word, position. This ligature is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which contains precomposed glyphs designed to support the complex cursive and contextual shaping of Arabic calligraphy, allowing for smoother and more visually consistent text rendering in digital environments.
