U+FD79 "ﵹ" Arabic Ligature Ghain with Meem with Meem Final Form is a typographic ligature used in the Arabic script, specifically designed for the complex calligraphic tradition of composing the letter ghain (غ) followed by two sequential meem (م) letters when they appear in their final positional form. This character belongs to the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, which contains precomposed glyphs that represent common or aesthetically unified ligatures for better rendering in text.
