U+FD24 "ﴤ" Arabic Ligature Dad with Yeh Final Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ﴤ

U+FD24 "ﴤ" Arabic Ligature Dad with Yeh Final Form is a typographic ligature found in the Arabic script, specifically combining the letter Dad (ض) with Yeh (ي) in their final position forms to create a single, visually connected glyph. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which was designed to encode precomposed ligatures that traditionally appear in calligraphic and typeset Arabic texts, such as in the Quran or classical literature. Its intended use is for precise representation of historical or stylized writing, and it is not a standard, productive combination in modern Arabic orthography, meaning it serves more as a display character for specific typographic contexts rather than a fundamental unit of the writing system.
