U+FD02 "ﴂ" Arabic Ligature Jeem with Yeh Isolated Form Unicode Character

U+FD02 "ﴂ" Arabic Ligature Jeem with Yeh Isolated Form is a presentation form character used in Arabic script typography to represent the joined combination of the letters Jeem (ج) and Yeh (ي) as a single cursive glyph in its isolated form. This ligature is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which is intended for compatibility with legacy text encoding systems that required specific visual shapes for correct rendering. Typically employed in traditional or decorative contexts, it displays the two letters fused together into one compact symbol, reflecting the standard connected writing style of Arabic script while emphasizing the ligature’s standalone appearance without adjacent letter connections.
