Unicode Version 17.0

U+FD56 "ﵖ" Arabic Ligature Teh with Meem with Hah Initial Form is a presentation-form character used in the Arabic script to represent a typographic ligature where the letters Teh (ت), Meem (م), and Hah (ح) are joined together in their initial form. This ligature is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which encodes specialized glyph forms for improved typesetting and calligraphic aesthetics, particularly in historical or ornate texts. It is intended for use in contexts where the combined visual appearance of these three consonants is required, such as in classical manuscripts or decorative writing, and it functions as a single character for display purposes rather than for general text processing or input.
