Unicode Version 17.0

ﳼ

U+FCFC "ﳼ" Arabic Ligature Seen with Yeh Isolated Form is a typographic ligature that combines the Arabic letter "Seen" (س) and the letter "Yeh" (ي) into a single, connected glyph specifically designed for the isolated position within a word. This character belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-B block, which contains precomposed forms used to support complex textual layouts in older or specialized text rendering systems, where such ligatures simplify the display of common letter pairs. In modern Arabic script, this ligature may appear in calligraphic or decorative contexts, but its primary function is to ensure proper visual cohesion when the two letters appear consecutively and stand alone, reflecting historical or locale specific typographic conventions.
