Unicode Version 17.0
ﶁ
U+FD81 "ﶁ" Arabic Ligature Lam with Hah with Yeh Final Form is a typographic ligature found in the Arabic script block, representing a specific connected form of the letters lam (ل), hah (ح), and yeh (ي) combined into a single glyph according to traditional calligraphic rules. This character is used in certain Arabic texts to facilitate elegant and compact writing, particularly in classical or religious works where such ligatures preserve historical orthographic conventions. Its final form indicates that the ligature appears at the end of a word, and it is encoded for compatibility with legacy font systems and digital typesetting that require precomposed shapes rather than relying on automatic cursive joining.
