Unicode Version 17.0

ﲔ

U+FC94 "ﲔ" Arabic Ligature Yeh with Noon Final Form is a typographic ligature used in the Arabic script, representing the combined form of the letters Yeh (ي) and Noon (ن) when they appear together at the end of a word as part of the final form. This character belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which was designed to facilitate bidirectional text rendering and support for historical or stylistic calligraphic shapes in digital formats. It encodes a single glyph that merges the two letters into one visual unit, often employed in systems that require precise text layout for languages like Arabic, Urdu, or Persian, though its use is primarily for backward compatibility with older software rather than for modern, standard Unicode text encoding.
