ﵝ
U+FD5D "ﵝ" Arabic Ligature Seen with Jeem with Hah Initial Form is a typographic ligature representing the joined initial forms of the Arabic letters Seen, Jeem, and Hah, which in standard Arabic are س (sīn), ج (jīm), and ح (ḥāʔ), respectively. This character belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block and is used in certain styles of Arabic calligraphy or typesetting where these three characters are combined into a single glyph for aesthetic or space-saving purposes, particularly at the beginning of a word. Its encoding preserves the visual rendering of the ligature while maintaining the underlying sequence of letters for text processing.
