ﲐ
U+FC90 "ﲐ" Arabic Ligature Alef Maksura with Superscript Alef Final Form is a typographic ligature used in Arabic script, specifically representing the final form of an alef maksura (a short, seatless alif) combined with a superscript alef above it, which visually marks a grammatical distinction or a specific phonetic reading in certain contexts, such as in the Quranic text or classical Arabic calligraphy. This character belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which includes simplified ligatures for compatibility with older fonts, and it is not typically used in modern standard digital text due to its specialized nature.
