U+FCF6 "ﳶ" Arabic Ligature Tah with Yeh Isolated Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ﳶ

U+FCF6 "ﳶ" Arabic Ligature Tah with Yeh Isolated Form is a typographic ligature used in Arabic script that combines the letters Tah (ط) and Yeh (ي) into a single connected glyph for specific typesetting contexts, particularly in Quranic or formal Arabic text to ensure proper visual flow and readability. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which contains ligatures designed for compatibility with legacy encoding systems and aesthetic handwriting styles. It represents the isolated form, meaning it appears as a standalone shape without connecting to adjacent characters on either side, and its use is primarily intended for rendering in complex text layouts where such ligatures are traditionally employed to preserve the calligraphic integrity of the script.
