U+FD60 "ﵠ" Arabic Ligature Seen with Meem with Hah Initial Form Unicode Character
U+FD60 "ﵠ" Arabic Ligature Seen with Meem with Hah Initial Form is a special typographic character used in the Arabic script to represent a connected ligature of the letters seen, meem, and hah in their initial forms, where the three consonants are joined together as a single visual unit for calligraphic or orthographic consistency. This ligature appears in certain historical or stylistic texts within the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, designed to encode complex cursive shapes that are not covered by standard Arabic character encoding. Its usage facilitates precise rendering in digital environments where traditional Arabic typesetting requires the seamless merging of these letters at the beginning of a word. The character itself resembles an ornate arrangement of the three base letters, with the seen forming a distinct top curve followed by a meem and a hah, all linked in a flowing horizontal line.
