U+FD71 "ﵱ" Arabic Ligature Tah with Meem with Hah Final Form Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FD71 "ﵱ" Arabic Ligature Tah with Meem with Hah Final Form is a specific typographic glyph used in Arabic script calligraphy and typesetting, representing a ligature that combines the letters Tah (ط), Meem (م), and Hah (ح) in their final positional form, which appears at the end of a word. This ligature is part of the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, a range of characters designed to encode complex cursive formations that may be required for fine text rendering or historical manuscripts. It serves to maintain visual harmony and fluidity in written Arabic, where certain letter combinations are traditionally merged into a single connected shape. The character itself is encoded for compatibility with older text processing systems, and its proper display depends on the presence of a compatible font that includes these specialized ligatures.
