U+FD35 "ﴵ" Arabic Ligature Seen with Hah Medial Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FD35 "ﴵ" Arabic Ligature Seen with Hah Medial Form is a presentation form glyph used in the Arabic writing system to represent a specific typographic ligature that combines the letter Seen (س) with the letter Hah (ح) in their medial forms. This character is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block and is intended for use in legacy text rendering or specialized calligraphic contexts, as it encodes a single visual unit where the two letters are joined together seamlessly according to traditional cursive rules. The ligature appears when Seen and Hah occur consecutively within a word and both take their medial shape, which typically happens when each is surrounded by other connecting letters. While modern Unicode text processing often uses standard Arabic characters with automatic shaping, U+FD35 provides a fixed glyph for situations requiring exact visual representation.
